Dr Dorothy Tse is a Reader in the Department of Psychology at Edge Hill University. She completed her PhD at the University of Edinburgh and is recognised for her research on the neurobiology of memory, with a particular focus on how prior knowledge (schemas) and novelty shape memory networks, and previously shared some of this work through EJN (Benoy & Tse, 2025; Broadbent et al., 2020). Her work has advanced our understanding of how new information is assimilated into existing schemas. More recently, she has used approaches including translational behavioural paradigms, virtual reality, and mobile EEG to develop tools that support healthy ageing. Dr Tse has received the Academy of Medical Sciences Springboard Award and the Alzheimer’s Research UK Inspire Fund, and she was selected to join the prestigious FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence. She also serves as Co-Chair of the Programme Committee for the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) 2025 and 2027 International Festival of Neuroscience and is the founder of the Liverpool Neuroscience Early Career Researcher Group. Beyond academia, Dr Tse has led impactful public engagement initiatives such as Healthy Ageing with an Active Mind, co-created with communities and charities. Her work exemplifies a deep commitment to ensuring that neuroscience research not only advances theory but also delivers meaningful societal benefit

We at EJN are thrilled to introduce Dr. Christelle Baunez as the latest scientist for our series of Women in Neuroscience. We began this series to bring visibility and recognition to the superb women scientists working in our community (Helmreich et al., 2017). You can find all of the previous profiles at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1111/(ISSN)1460-9568.women-in-science Christelle Baunez completed her PhD at the University of the Mediterranean in Marseille, focusing on interactions between glutamate and dopamine within the basal ganglia. During her post-doc at Cambridge University, she investigated the involvement of the subthalamic nucleus in non-motor functions, revealing its involvement in attention and inhibitory control. Baunez is a Director of Research at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the French National Center for Scientific Research. At Institut de Neurosciences de la Timone (INT), a joint research unit of the CNRS and Aix-Marseille University, and leads one of INT’s 13 research teams, CoPhyBaG: Cognition and Physiopathology in the Basal Ganglia. She is a creative researcher with impressive depth and breadth, having lead research projects across rats, monkeys, and humans. Her prolific research has supported the European Journal of Neuroscience for over 2 decades (Lguensat et al., 2021; Breysse et al., 2021; Tremblay et al., 2017; Espinosa-Parilla et al., 2015; Baunez et al., 2007; Winstanley et al., 2005; Bacci et al., 2004; Darbaky et al., 2003; Baunez et al., 2001; Baunez and Robbins 1997).

We at EJN are delighted to introduce Dr. Laurel Trainor as the latest scientist for our series of Women in Neuroscience.
