Psychology & Neuroscience
The School of Psychology & Neuroscience has consistently been ranked one of the best research departments in the UK. Our research is broadly organised around 5 research themes, namely human cognition, neuroscience, origins of mind, perception, and social psychology, with many members of the School carrying out research in more than one theme. Researchers from the School also contribute to numerous interdisciplinary research centres and institutes.

Attending and knowing together : A new look at joint attention and common knowledge and their role in coordination
(University of St Andrews, 2018-11-05) - ThesisJoint attention—the ability to coordinate attention to an object or event—is a key feature of human social cognition. Without joint attention, we would not be the cooperating species we are now. Most developmental studies ... -
Assessment of intradimensional/extradimensional attentional set-shifting in rats
(2018-06) - Journal itemThe rat intradimensional/extradimensional (ID/ED) task, first described by Birrell and Brown 18 years ago, has become the predominant means by which attentional set-shifting is investigated in rodents: the use of rats in ... -
A truth that does not always speak its name : how Hollander and Turowetz’s findings confirm and extend the engaged followership analysis of harm-doing in the Milgram paradigm
(2018-02-21) - Journal articleHollander and Turowetz (2017) present important data from post-experimental interviews with participants in Milgram’s ‘obedience’ research. In these, participants responded to various questions about their perceptions of ... -
Stimulation of single, possible CHX10 hindbrain neurons turns swimming on and off in young Xenopus tadpoles
(2019-02-18) - Journal articleVertebrate central pattern generators (CPGs) controlling locomotion contain neurons which provide the excitation that drives and maintains network rhythms. In a simple vertebrate, the developing Xenopus tadpole, we study ... -
Investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning the neurotoxicity of homocysteine and its metabolites in models of neurodegeneration
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisElevated levels of homocysteine (HCy) are a known risk factor in several disease states (1). HCy has several other metabolites, homocysteine thiolactone (HCy-T) and homocysteic acid (HCA). Whilst HCy-mediated neurotoxicity ...
