Hugo Lehmann

Hugo Lehmann is an Associate Professor at Trent University's Psychology department, specializing in the neural mechanisms of learning, memory, and emotion. His research explores the role of hippocampal and extrahippocampal structures in memory consolidation, systems consolidation, and regenerative approaches to cognitive deficits.

• Education:
• B.A., Concordia University
• M.Sc., University of Alberta
• Ph.D., Concordia University

Research Focus: His work investigates how brain damage affects memory systems, with particular emphasis on retrograde/antegrade amnesia, neurogenesis promotion for cognitive recovery, and the neural circuits underlying contextual fear and spatial memory. Techniques include behavioral paradigms, lesion studies, and pharmacological interventions in rodent models.

Publication Trends: Recent publications examine hippocampal damage effects on memory systems, strategies to mitigate forgetting through reactivation, and neuroregenerative approaches to cognitive deficits. Topics span from seizure impacts on spatial memory to concussion awareness studies in athletes.
