Catharine Winstanley is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia and a member of the Centre for Brain Health. She investigates brain mechanisms involved in impulse control and how deficiencies in these mechanisms can lead to higher-order cognitive dysfunctions, particularly in areas such as gambling and substance abuse. Her research demonstrates that conditions like traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease can significantly impact cognitive function. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, Winstanley’s Laboratory of Molecular Behavioural Neuroscience employs molecular biology techniques, pharmacological methods, and behavioral testing to uncover the factors and mechanisms underlying impulse control.
