Biography
She is the Associate Director of the Memory Disorders Research Center at the Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine and V.A. Boston Healthcare System.Her research interests are neurology, clinical neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. Margaret Keane has always had an interest in unraveling the mysteries of mind, brain, and memory. As a professor, she loves conducting research with students. Most experiments examine how memory performance can be influenced by a variety of experimental manipulations. Her current research goal is to understand the functional and neural bases of distinct forms of human memory. She does this by examining impaired memory function in amnesic patients and memory function in healthy patients. Previous work explores interactions between episodic and semantic memory, the role of memory in envisioning the future, and the relationship between long-term memory and working memory.
