DESCRIPTION:Can cognitive neuroscience help us to understand brain disorde
 rs\, or even to treat them? In this talk I’m going to discuss two proces
 ses – memory and motivation – which are often degraded in patients wit
 h neurological and psychiatric disorders.\n     We’ve developed behaviou
 ral methods to examine precision of recall and effort-based decision makin
 g for rewards. Both lines of research have provided insights into some of 
 the cognitive mechanisms underlying short-term memory and motivation in he
 althy people. In addition\, when applied to patient populations\, these te
 chniques have revealed that it is possible to dissect out mechanisms under
 lying pathological rapid forgetting and apathy in brain disorders.\n\n
