After Karl Lashley, Donald Hebb was responsible for bringing about renewed interest in the study topics of brain and behavior.

Explanation:

Donald Hebb of Canada was a renowned psychologist in the late 1900s. His area of study was mostly restricted to neuropsychology. The concept of synaptic plasticity got more depth due to the studies carried out by Donald Hebb.

In the discipline of Psychology, there is a rule named the Hebb's rule which clarifies the connection between the process of learning and the neuronal activities.

I believe the correct answer is Donald Hebb.
Donald O. Hebb was an influential psychologist from Canada who is most famous for his work when it comes to the correlation between the brain and behavior of individuals, within the field of neuropsychology. After Lashley died in 1958, Hebb took it upon himself to renew the interest in the study.
