Brenda Milner CC GOQ FRS FRSC (née Langford; born 15 July 1918) is a British-Canadian neuropsychologist who has contributed extensively to the research literature on various topics in the field of clinical neuropsychology.^[1]^[2] Milner is a professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University and a professor of Psychology at the Montreal Neurological Institute.^[3] As of 2020^[update], she holds more than 25 honorary degrees and she continued to work in her nineties.^[2] Her current work covers many aspects of neuropsychology including her lifelong interest in the involvement of the temporal lobes in episodic memory.^[4] She is sometimes referred to as the founder of neuropsychology^[5]^[6] and has been essential in its development. She received the Balzan Prize for Cognitive Neuroscience in 2009, and the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, together with John O'Keefe, and Marcus E. Raichle, in 2014.
