Marla Mickleborough is an **Associate Professor** in the Department of Psychology and Health Studies at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Arts and Science. Her research focuses on cognitive neuroscience, migraine mechanisms, visual spatial attention, and neuroimaging (fMRI, ERP, DTI). She holds a PhD in Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia, an MSc in Neuroscience from the University of Western Ontario, and a BA in Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan.
- Education:
- PhD (Neuroscience), University of British Columbia
- MSc (Neuroscience), University of Western Ontario
- BA (Psychology), University of Saskatchewan
Her work explores how migraine affects visual and attentional processes, with a focus on interictal (between-attack) brain activity. Key themes include:
- Functional MRI (fMRI) studies of language lateralization and epilepsy
- EEG/ERP investigations of visual cortical hyperexcitability in migraine
- Neuroimaging of concussion outcomes and post-stroke motor recovery
Recent publications highlight advancements in neurofeedback mindfulness for chronic migraine, gender differences in concussion reporting, and stress-related headaches in university students. No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but her contributions to migraine neurobiology are notable.
Teaching responsibilities include courses in Health Studies and Cognitive Psychology. She actively collaborates with researchers in neurology, psychiatry, and sports medicine to address translational challenges in brain disorders.
