Biography

Meg is the Principal Investigator of the Budding Minds Lab at the University of Toronto, specializing in the study of the episodic memory system, particularly how the hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe cortex interact with prefrontal brain regions to update stored memories with new information. Her research seeks to characterize the neural operations that occur in healthy young adults and changes that happen to the brain during childhood and adolescence. When not engaged in research, Meg enjoys cooking, exploring new restaurants, and discovering what the vibrant city of Toronto has to offer.
