		Cognitive neuroscientists Brenda Milner of McGill University in Montreal and Endel Tulving of the University of Toronto are recipients of the 2005 Gairdner Awards.
		Milner's work focused on the way each side of the brain operates, which was instrumental in identifying which areas are essential to memory.
		Milner is best known for her work with a patient known as H.M. The man had suffered epileptic seizures so debilitating that in 1953 his doctor decided to remove a part of his brain believed to be linked with the sense of smell.

	Dr Brenda Milner, CC
		Through rigorous experiments, Milner discovered that HM could learn and remember particular types of tasks, and that his memories of the past before the operation were seemingly intact.
		Milner also conducted much of the early work that established how the different hemispheres of the brains interact, which has had an enormous impact on understanding cognitive learning, language, sensations and emotions.
		Milner ascribes her success partly to being what she calls "a noticer." "The thing that has driven me my whole life is curiosity.

	Of memories lost and found
		Brenda Milner, a British-born neuropsychologist, who moved to Montreal, was working with a famous neurosurgeon, Wilder Penfield.
		Brenda Milner went on to complete many studies involving one famous patient known as case "H.M." I suppose this was the beginning of modern neuropsychology.
		Important early work was done by a group of neuropsychologists in London, Oxford and Cambridge, which refined many of the findings in amnesia and led to the separation of conscious and unconscious or implicit memory.
