Funded Activity Summary

The role of the prefrontal cortex in responding to a changing world. This proposal will test a novel theory of frontal brain function that emphasises the contrasting role of two regions of the prefrontal cortex in dealing with the changing nature of the world. It will provide novel insights in the the psychology and neural underpinnings of the control of behaviour. This will add to our basic knowledge of brain function, feeding into our understanding of human mental disorders such as schizophrenia and dementia. It will also provide training in psychology and behavioural neuroscience for Honours and Doctoral students.
