TitleRobbins, Trevor William: certificate of election to the Royal Society
CitationTrevor Robbins has made major contributions to our knowledge of how neurotransmitter systems of the brain's reticular core determine behaviour and cognition via interactions with specific forebrain regions. This has been achieved through a unique integration of research in humans and other animals across domains of neuroscience and is relevant to neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease, addiction and frontal dementia. The main achievements are (i) elucidation of the different roles of dopaminergic, cholinergic and noradrenergic systems in reward, attention and arousal; (ii) specifications of discrete functional systems in prefrontal cortex and striatum which subserve executive functions such as planning, decision-making and response control.
