Boyer Winters, Professor, Principle Investigator

I was first exposed to behavioural neuroscience as an undergraduate student at Dalhousie University while taking Richard Brown’s second-year Hormones and Behaviour course. After completing my undergrad thesis with Richard, I jetted off to Cambridge, UK, to do my PhD on the role of acetylcholine in various learning and memory tasks with Steve Dunnett, Barry Everitt, and Trevor Robbins. After graduation, I stayed in Cambridge to work with Tim Bussey and Lisa Saksida for several more years, studying brain systems involved in object memory and perception. In 2007, I accepted a faculty position at the University of Guelph, where I continue to investigate neural mechanisms of cognition in rodent models.
