Professor Donna Rose Addis holds the Canada 150 Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory and Aging and serves as a senior scientist at Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute (RRI). Her work focuses on the neurological impacts of depression, particularly its effects on memory and future visualization abilities. She investigates how prolonged stress hormones damage the hippocampus, impairing memory function in depression.
Research Interests: Dr. Addis explores how depression disrupts memory and future thinking, linking these cognitive deficits to psychological well-being. Her research aims to develop interventions targeting future imagination to aid recovery in older adults. Key areas include perception, cognition, cognitive neuroscience, memory, aging, and depression.
Awards: Her groundbreaking work on future imagination was recognized as a Top Ten Breakthrough by Science journal.
