BSc PhD Western Australia
Dan Norman Early Career Fellow in (Bio)medical Studies
Academic subject(s):
Biomedical Sciences
- Core subject area: Systems Neuroscience
Research interests: Understanding how multiple brain regions interact and coordinate their activity to enable learning and decision making. I investigate how neural circuits and dopamine encode information and initiate learning to turn random actions into learned behaviours. I am also interested in how investigating these circuits help our understanding of related neurological disorders, such as addiction.
