DR. MÉLANIE GUIGUENO

Assistant Professor at the Biology Department in McGill University

She combines field and laboratory approaches to examine behaviour and links between behaviour, cognition, and the brain. Brain measures include fine-scale differences, such as neurogenesis.

An important study system is avian brood parasitism, in which some parasitic species show female-biased sex differences in spatial behaviour in the field with associated sex differences in spatial memory and in the hippocampus (part of the brain responsible for spatial memory).
