Lone Hørlyck is a Volunteer Writer at BioNews, having originally joined the publication under the auspices of its writing scheme. She is currently studying for a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London (UCL)'s Institute of Neurology and Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research is conducted in the Space and Memory Laboratory led by Professor Neil Burgess, and is funded by a Grand Challenge Studentship. This research focuses on how negative emotion affects the encoding of new memories in the brain, specifically a brain region called the hippocampus. Lone is also studying to be a psychologist at the University of Copenhagen. Previously she studied psychology, neuroscience and molecular medicine at Aarhus University and at the University of Nottingham, and went on to obtain an MSc in Clinical Neuroscience from UCL.
