Abstract:
When confronted with an unwelcome reminder, people often inhibit the unwanted memory from awareness, a process that causes forgetting. This suppression-induced forgetting (SIF), also sometimes known as motivated forgetting, can be empirically measured by the Think/No-Think (TNT) task. Chapter 1 reviews the literature on memory inhibition. Imaging work indicates suppressing retrieval engages the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC), which in turn may inhibit the retrieval processes within the hippocampus. This thesis, using a range of methods, aims to better understand the neuropsychol

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with emotional decision-making and impulsivity. In a series of experiments, the processes involved in emotional decision-making were investigated. Techniques used included both established, neuropsychologically validated tasks known to be dependent on frontal lobe function, and an entirely novel paradigm. A probabilistic decision-making and gambling task has been widely used to delineate the differences between pathological groups and normal volunteers, and attempts to distinguish between different components of impulsivity.

Abstract:
On the basis of neuropathological, neurochemical, genetic, and clinical profile studies on patients, distinct forms of dementia, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), have been distinguished which were originally thought to be Alzheimer's disease (AD). Dementia with Lewy bodies is probably the second most common form of dementia in the elderly. In this thesis, a well characterised and investigated cohort of DLB and AD patients were compared to non-demented elderly controls in order to establish profiles of cognitive decline in these groups.

This thesis investigated the role played by regions of the prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum in the control of rats' behaviour by Pavlovian conditioned stimuli, and in their capacity to choose delayed reinforcement. First, the function of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in simple Pavlovian conditioning tasks was addressed. The ACC is a subdivision of prefrontal cortex that has previously been suggested to be critical for the formation of stimulus-reward associations. It was found that lesions of the ACC did not prevent rats from learning a simple conditioned approach response to a con

Abstract:
This thesis explores the neural correlates of motor and perceptual timing. Motor timing involves the production of a timed movement (e.g. dancing), whereas perceptual timing requires a perceptual judgement (e.g. deciding which of two events lasted longer). A body of research has investigated this type of timing, concentrating on millisecond- and seconds-range intervals. Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and cerebellar pathology exhibit motor and perceptual timing deficits, which has led to the suggestion that both the basal ganglia and cerebellum are involved in this type of temporal proc

The underlying causes of major mental illness are not understood and diagnoses are made largely on the basis of characteristic clinical symptoms described by the patient.

In genetic studies such biological markers of disease have been termed "endophenotypes". Neuropsychological impairments are well described in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
