About

Professor Catherine Harmer is a faculty member at the University of Oxford, specializing in Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research areas include memory reconsolidation, emotional processing, and the effects of various pharmacological interventions on mood and cognition. Recent publications examine mechanisms such as nitrous oxide’s antidepressant action and the influence of lamotrigine on memory bias and emotional processing. Through her work, she contributes significant insights into the cognitive predictors of mood disorders and potential therapeutic approaches.
