Matthew Rushworth Biography

Matthew Rushworth decided to stay in Oxford in order to study for a doctoral degree with Dick Passingham (1990-1994) on the parietal cortex and a neurological movement disorder called apraxia. Afterwards he carried on working in the same lab as a post-doctoral researcher. He was involved in a number of collaborative projects using positron emission tomography to investigate parietal and Broca's area cortices at the Functional Imaging Laboratory London looking at the premotor cortex with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at the Radcliffe Infirmary and at the Human Movement and Balance Unit in London (with Kerry Mills and John Rothwell) and event related potential (ERP) recording (with Kia Nobre in Oxford). He then worked on a project with Tomas Paus at the Montreal Neurological Institute and McGill University in Canada in which we tried to combine TMS and functional magnetic resonace imaging (fMRI) to investigate the role of the medial frontal cortex in task switching. His main research interests are the parietal frontal and cingulate regions of the brain and the role that they play in making decisions and controlling movement.
