Description

Mapping the neural architecture of human memory with advanced neuroimaging. This project aims to provide the first integrated model of age-related changes in the memory systems of the human brain. Core memory brain structures have been identified but how these structures are connected, their specific roles, and how they change as we age is lacking in humans. Our team has developed ground-breaking neuroimaging analysis methods that will rectify this important knowledge gap. This model will provide the benchmark against which to measure changes in memory functions during life and will provide a framework to understand how disruption in this memory system affects memory capacity. This project will enable human memory research to be integrated and biologically grounded.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 5202 - Biological Psychology. Lead: Prof Olivier Piguet
