Within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour we are involved in research which looks at perception, attention, emotion, learning and memory, sensory and motor processes, and includes animal models of neurobehavioral research. We investigate cognitive and brain mechanisms in psychologically and neurologically intact animals and humans, and the disruption of these processes caused by drugs, brain damage, ageing or atypical development.
Throughout the academic year, the Centre for Modern and Contemporary History (CMCH) runs a schedule of public-facing events involving CMCH members and guest speakers from other institutions.
