| Brain substrates of learning and memory. Research deals specifically with changes in field potentials and single cell activity during acquisition of a learned motor response, concentrating on areas in the brain related to motivational properties of stimuli and response control systems. Recent experiments have evaluated the effects of aging, psychoactive drugs and a brain-computer interface on both behavioral learning, and electrophysiological activity in animals. | |
