My research focusses on understanding the cognitive and biological mechanisms of impulsivity in syndromes associated with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. My research specifically seeks to understand the contribution of GABA and noradrenaline using magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MT imaging of the locus coeruleus as well as modelling of behavioural data.
