Research interests

My research interests largely revolve around the Basal Ganglia (and related structures), a group of nuclei implicated in a wide range of normal brain processes and neurological/ psychiatric disorders. At present, there are three main strands to my work:

1. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

2. Non-motor deficits in Parkinson’s disease

3. Emotion processing
