Mary Pat McAndrews, PhD, CPsych
Neuropsychologist (Retired)
Senior Scientist

Mary Pat McAndrews

Mary Pat McAndrews is a neuropsychologist (retired from active clinical practice) and cognitive neuroscientist who endeavors to foster synergies between these two dimensions. Her work focuses on memory and language networks, using functional neuroimaging and EEG/MEG, studies of patients with medial temporal lobe damage or dysfunction, and brain stimulation techniques to understand how these networks are organized and modified by focal abnormalities or therapies. An important aim of this work is the identification of individual difference factors that contribute to vulnerability or resilience to disorders affecting memory that can be leveraged in clinical practice. The primary clinical populations in her research are individuals with temporal-lobe epilepsy and Alzheimer’s Disease, but her work also extends to depression, chronic pain, neurovascular disorders, and breast-cancer survivors. She is also at the forefront of translational fMRI in Canada, developing fMRI techniques for surgical planning and targeting/evaluating treatment for neurological disorders.
