At 91, the grande dame of cognitive neuroscience -she is a
researcher at the Montreal Neurological Institute -is still reaping
honours. In the past year: the 2010 lifetime achievement award by
the Society of Experimental Psychologists for her work on memory; a
runner-up for Canada's prestigious Herzberg science medal; and an
honorary doctorate from the Universite du Quebec a Montreal. She
even appeared on Charlie Rose: The Brain Series.
