Research

My name is Roddy Grieves: I am a behavioural neuroscientist, and newly appointed lecturer in the School of Psychology & Neuronce. My 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. This work involves recording the activity of single neurons in the brain of freely moving animals, especially rats.
