Her interdisciplinary research has shown how the frontal lobes guide everyday choices, from basic decisions about what foods to eat, to complex social choices such as voting. A neurologist-scientist, she has also studied the effects of Parkinson’s Disease on decision-making and emotion, and how cognitive and mental health can be optimized for people living with chronic health conditions, such as HIV. She completed her DPhil at Oxford University, followed by medicine and neurology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, and a post-doctoral fellowship in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania.
