The Hippocampus from Cells to Systems

Deborah Hannula is an Associate Professor and the Associate Chair of the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. As the director of the MINDfull of Memory Laboratory, much of Dr. Hannula's research has focused on contributions made by the hippocampus to working memory and unconscious or implicit expressions of memory. Current work examines interactions between long-term memory and attention with particular focus on questions about whether attention might be captured by long-term memories and the neural substrates that drive these effects. To address research questions in each of these domains, Dr. Hannula's lab combines eye tracking, functional MRI, and neuropsychological methods. Dr. Hannula has received research funding from the National Institutes of Health and, most recently, was the recipient of a Career Award from the National Science Foundation. She has published nearly 30 articles that examine the basic constructs and neural correlates of learning and memory, and her research was featured recently in the 2015 Edition of the UWM Research Report.

"This is a detailed monograph on the neurophysiology of the hippocampus in animals and humans. ... I recommend this book to neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and neurosurgeons with a strong interest in the hippocampus and its rles in the brain."
