Michael McGaugh

Michael McGaugh is a scientist who studies how the brain processes and remembers information, particularly focusing on how emotions influence learning and memory. His work explores how different parts of the brain interact to help us prioritize important information and retain it over time. By understanding these mechanisms, McGaugh aims to uncover how memories are formed, why some details stick with us while others fade, and how emotional experiences affect our cognitive functions. His research provides insights into brain function relevant to psychology, neuroscience, and mental health.
