David Bilkey
Professor
Phychology
Otago University
New Zealand
Biography
Professor David Bilkey’s general research area is systems neuroscience, with a particular focus on the role of the temporal cortex regions of the brain in memory and learning processes. This work involves using a combination of electrophysiological and behavioral procedures to determine how these temporal area structures function and interact with regions such as the prefrontal cortex.
Research Interest
Systems neuroscience The role of the temporal cortex regions of the brain in memory and learning processes How the function of the hippocampus is altered in schizophrenia
