Overview

Morgan D. Barense is affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada and has produced extensive research primarily in the fields of Neuroscience and Psychology. Their work focuses on cognitive neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, developmental and educational psychology, psychiatry and mental health, as well as cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The main topics of Barense's research include:

  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Identity, Memory, and Therapy
  • Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research
  • Memory Processes and Influences
  • Neuroscience and Neuropharmacology Research
  • Face Recognition and Perception

Frequent co-authors in Barense's research include Rosanna K. Olsen, Iva K. Brunec, Morris Moscovitch, Chris B. Martin, and Natalia Ladyka-Wojcik.

Barense has contributed to several publication venues, with multiple papers appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Neuropsychologia, Cerebral Cortex, and Aging Neuropsychology and Cognition.

Notable recent publications include:

  • Integration and differentiation of hippocampal memory traces (2020), Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Prediction errors disrupt hippocampal representations and update episodic memories (2021), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Turns during navigation act as boundaries that enhance spatial memory and expand time estimation (2020), Neuropsychologia
  • A smartphone intervention that enhances real-world memory and promotes differentiation of hippocampal activity in older adults (2022), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Temporal integration of narrative information in a hippocampal amnesic patient (2020), NeuroImage

The body of Barense's work reflects a comprehensive approach to understanding the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying memory function and disorders, often with a focus on the hippocampus and related brain structures. Their range of study encompasses experimental investigations into how memory is formed, maintained, and altered, as well as the development of interventions aimed at enhancing real-world memory in aging populations.
