Experimental Psychology Seminar - Roddy Grieves

Roddy Grieves

University of Glasgow

Roddy Grieves received a PhD in Psychology from the University of Stirling, under the supervision of Prof Paul Dudchenko and mentorship of Prof Emma Wood. As a postdoc he worked with Prof Kate Jeffery at UCL, then with Prof Jeffrey Taube at Dartmouth College. He is now a Lecturer in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow. His work involves recording the activity of single neurons in the brain of freely moving animals, such as rats. This research looks to understand how spatial neurons in the brain map the animal's surroundings, aid memory and contribute to learning and decision making, with a special focus on naturalistic behaviours and environments.
