Profile: Patricia Cowell is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the �� of Sheffield. Before coming to Sheffield she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (1992-1995) in the Brain Behavior Laboratory, �� of Pennsylvania Medical School with a research focus on cortical sex differences in adults in relation to aging and schizophrenia. Patricia completed her PhD (1992) and masters (1990) in Biobehavioral Sciences at the �� of Connecticut through research on the corpus callosum and behavioural laterality in humans and rodents. Her undergraduate education at Boston �� (1983-1987) was in Psychology and Statistics.
