Welcome to the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of York. We use a combination of behavioural and neuroscientific techniques to understand how individuals learn and make decisions. This is not an easy problem, particularly when there are many valuable options to chose between. Our work asks how the brain accomplishes this; coordinating different cognitive functions to achieve adaptive goal-directed behaviour. We are currently investigating how these cognitive functions develop across adolescence and how the brain adapts during this critical period of life.
