Apathy and impulsivity in neurological disease – cause, effect and treatment
Professor James Rowe, Department of Clinical Neurosciences and MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
Theme: Neurons, Networks and Circuits
James studies the mechanisms and treatment of cognitive disorders, including frontotemporal dementia, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Alzheimer’s disease. He trained in medical sciences and experimental psychology at Cambridge, before clinical studies in Oxford and a PhD at UCL . After specialist training in London and Copenhagen, he returned to Cambridge where he now directs the Centre for Frontotemporal Dementia and lead the Clinical program in the Centre for Parkinson-plus. He is Associate Director of Dementias Platform UK, and Chief Scientific Adviser to ARUK . James’ work brings together brain imaging, genetics, psychopharmacology and computational modelling to transform the mechanistic understanding of human disease into new treatments.
About this series: The Cambridge Neuroscience Interdisciplinary Seminar Series provides a forum for neuroscientists across Cambridge and beyond to discuss contemporary and interdisciplinary research topics and issues.
The seminars are open to both members of the University, external academics and members of the public. We have tried to reflect the diversity of people’s interests at the University with our programme, and the breadth of the research taking place in Cambridge.
