Research interests

Roddy Grieves received a BSc (Hons) and PhD in Psychology from the University of Stirling, under the supervision of Prof Paul Dudchenko and Prof Emma Wood. As a postdoc he then worked with Prof Kate Jeffery at UCL and Prof Jeffrey Taube at Dartmouth College. Presently he is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow. His work involves recording the activity of single neurons in the brain of freely moving animals, such as rats. This research looks to understand how spatial neurons in the brain map the animal's surroundings, aid memory and contribute to learning and decision making.
