-	The varied body of research by Dr. Milner has had, and continues to have, a major impact on cognitive neuroscience and on clinical neuroscience. Dr. Milner’s studies have direct a correlation to patient care for neurosurgical treatment of patients with brain tumors or epilepsy. Her contribution to understanding memory and language functions, as well as hemispheric lateralization has helped discovered research and therapies for debilitating conditions such as [[Alzheimer's ~~disease~~]] and stroke.	+	The varied body of research by Dr. Milner has had, and continues to have, a major impact on cognitive neuroscience and on clinical neuroscience.

	'''Dr. Milner''' work in the field of neuropsychology includes the study of memory and other cognitive functions in humans. She was the first to study the effects of damage to the medial temporal lobe on memory and systematically described the deficits in the patient HM concerning cognitive neuroscience.
