Hippocampal dysfunction across neurodegenerative conditions
My research focus is examining cognitive, and particularly hippocampal, dysfunction across different neurological conditions and ageing. I am interested in the electrical disruption as a mechanism of memory problems and network changes in temporal lobe epilepsy and cerebrovascular disease and how this relates to ageing and other neurodegenerative conditions. I am also looking to better understand how memory works in healthy individuals including how we shift information from short term to long term memory.
I use neurophysiology and neuroimaging along with behavioural testing to examine cognitive function. The Computational Neurology group is also interested in people with Parkinson's disease and focal brain lesions.
