Morein Lab
Advancing Cognitive Control and Mental Health Research
Our Focus
The Morein Lab aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of how problems with cognitive and response control can contribute to mental health conditions. Our research integrates experimental psychology, psychiatry and cognitive neuroscience . To date, our research has focused in particular on Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Hoarding Disorder (HD). The lab is led by Dr Sharon Morein (aka Morein-Zamir) and is based at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK.

Congratulations to Hannah on publishing her paper! Gender of autistic individuals and the person rating them matters for first impressions - an important addition to the existing literature on the topic.
