David Bilkey is Professor of Psychology at the University of Otago. His general research area is systems neuroscience, with a particular focus on the role of the temporal cortex regions of the brain in memory and learning processes. This work uses a combination of electrophysiological and behavioral procedures to determine how these temporal area structures normally operate, how they interact with regions such as the prefrontal cortex, and how they malfunction in diseases such as schizophrenia.
