Francesca Cacucci RCUK Research Fellow f.cacucci@ucl.ac.uk + 44 (0) 20 7679 4061 |
Research: Neural basis of spatial cognition, through the application of in vivo extracellular single-neuron recording in freely moving animals and behavioural testing. Current research in the lab includes: a) the impact of neuro-degenerative diseases on hippocampal spatial representations; b) the emergence of spatial representations during ontogenetic development; c) the role of NMDA receptors in hippocampal spatial memory. |

Ana Guinote Senior Lecturer a.guinote@ucl.ac.uk +44 (0) 20 7679 5378 |
Research: Interplay between social and cognitive processes. The social hierarchy defined by power, status or membership in a minority or majority group affects attentional control and the individual's mindset, and how this in turn affects the ways individuals pursue goals(e.g.performance).Research into mood; social hierarchy; behaviour variability; motivation, cognition and behaviour. |

Research: Judgement and decision making, particularly with reference to the role of judgment in forecasting and control of streams of data. |
 |
Peter Howell Professor p.howell@ucl.ac.uk +44 (0) 20 7679 7566 |
Research: Speech production, perception and heating. Research interests in stuttering as a developmental speech disorder and its relationship to fluent development of speech and language. |

Tali Sharot |
Research: I am interested in how motivation and emotion shape human judgment, memory and action. I use a combination of techniques including behavioural, computational, pharmacological, neuropsychiatric, and brain imaging methods to elucidate the underlying processes on three levels: behaviour, neural systems and neurotransmitters. |
