Adele Dorothy Diamond FRSC is a professor of neuroscience at the University of British Columbia, where she is currently a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. One of the pioneers in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience, Diamond researches how executive functions are affected by biological and environmental factors, especially in children.[1][2][3][4] Her discoveries have improved treatment for disorders such as phenylketonuria and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder,[5][6][7] and they have impacted early education.[8][9][10]
