Professor Matt Jones specializes in Neuroscience, expanding decades of research into how memory, decision-making, and brain activity interact across various disorders. With a DPhil from the University of Bristol, he engages in investigating the functional specialization of neurons and their roles in memory processing. His work employs both rodent models and human participants to gain insights into experiences impacting anxiety, schizophrenia, epilepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease. He utilizes advanced technologies to monitor brain activity and employs optogenetics for mapping neural circuits. Additionally, Professor Jones leads a team that includes postdocs and graduate students across a spectrum of disciplines, aiming to foster collaborative research in modern neuroscience. His extensive interactions with industrial partners, notably in cognitive neuroscience, facilitate bridging theoretical research with practical implications. Recent projects include researching circuit mechanisms of conscious perception and dynamics affecting memory at both cellular and systemic levels.
