Researchers: Prof Simon Killcross (Principal investigator)

Brief description Both the control of voluntry responses over reflexive habits, and the ability to direct voluntary responses appropriately when there are conflicting choices present in the world, are thought to be important in mental disorders such as drug addiction, tic disorders such as Tourette syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder. This project will examine the brain neurochemistry that underpins our ability to control voluntary responses, providing insight into potential pharmacological interventions.
