Prof Julie Stout - Researcher Profile

Biography

There has been a tremendous burst of information about cognition and its neural bases since the late 1960s. As new knowledge develops, there is a need to continually update the measurement tools that we use to assess cognition. Keeping the tools updated is essential for evolving an in-depth understanding of cognitive deficits that cause a decline in function in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Such up to date tools also play a key role in understanding the impact of neuropsychiatric disorders such as addiction. This drive to understand cognitive function in disorders is at the forefront of Professor Julie Stout’s research.  Her work, focused on Huntington’s Disease and on addictive behaviour, aims to develop and adapt cutting edge cognitive science tools for clinical settings.
