Rik Henson, together with Jon Simons at the Cambridge University Psychology Department, have been awarded a BBSRC project grant to “characterise encoding and retrieval contributions to age-related memory impairment”. This 3-year grant (led by Jon Simons) will allow one post-doctoral researcher to run a number of MRI experiments at the CBU. This work will continue a long-standing and fruitful collaboration between the CBU and Cambridge University on the neural bases of memory and ageing.
