Mary Pat McAndrews is a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist at the Krembil Brain Institute, University Health Network. Her research focuses on memory networks using functional neuroimaging techniques such as EEG and MEG. She conducts studies on patients with medial temporal lobe damage and explores brain stimulation techniques to understand how neural networks are organized and modified by focal damage. A significant aspect of her work is identifying individual difference factors that contribute to vulnerability and resilience in disorders affecting memory, leveraging insights from clinical practice. She co-leads a multi-site program, EpLink, under the Epilepsy Research Program of the Ontario Brain Institute, which aims to develop new therapies to stop seizures and improve the quality of life for individuals with epilepsy. Dr. McAndrews is at the forefront of translational fMRI research in Canada, developing techniques for surgical planning and targeting/evaluating treatments for neurological disorders.
