Behavioural neuroscience
We analyse the processes of attention, cognition, emotion, learning, memory, and motivation.
We also explore the neural systems upon which these processes depend, and the genetic mechanisms that are involved. Our research is concerned with understanding these processes both in the healthy organism, and in various disease states.
In this research group, we have developed strong interdisciplinary links with the MRC Centre in Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics, the Dementia Research Institute, and the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute.
