Helen Neville, an expert in early brain development from the Department of Psychology passed away this weekend. Neville held the Robert and Beverly Lewis Chair in Neuroscience from 2002-2016, and was instrumental in getting UO’s first magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Her contributions to the field of neuroscience were rich, and she will surely be missed.
