Abstract: English Canadian neuropsychologist Brenda Milner (1918—) graduated in Cambridge, and got her Ph. D. and Sc. D. from McGill University and Cambridge University, respectively. She has taught in McGill University since 1952. She is a member of Royal Society of London, and She won the National Academy of Sciences Award in Neurosciences in 2004 for her seminal investigations of the role of the temporal lobes and other brain regions in learning, memory, and language. In May 2014, she shared Kavli Prize in neurosciences with 2014 English Nobel Laureate John O’Keefe and American neurologist Marcus Raichle. Her strong curiosity in science and tenacity of purpose not to be discouraged when the going got rough has inspired others to follow her example in researches.
