At Addenbrooke's Hospital, I see patients in my Disorders of Movement
and Cognition clinic (PSP, FTD, atypical PD or MSA) and the multidisciplinary
Early Onset Dementia Clinic lead by Dr Nestor (behavioural variant FTD).
My main research interests can be divided
into theoretical and clinical. The theoretical work focuses on the
organisation and control of voluntary behaviours - how we select, change
or inhibit our actions. This work uses fMRI and MEG to study anatomical
networks including prefrontal cortex, striatum and parietal cortex. The
clinical work relates to the effects of FTD, PD and PSP on cognitive
functions; the impact of disease on functional brain networks; and the
ability of drug treatments to improve the control of cognition and
action. In addition to the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, much of
my work is carried out at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit
(http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/james.rowe/) and in collaboration
with the MRC Behavioural Neuroscience Institute
(http://research.psychol.cam.ac.uk/~bcni) within the umbrella of
Cambridge Neuroscience
(http://www.neuroscience.cam.ac.uk/directory/profile.php?jamesrowe).
