Dr Sebastian McBride University positionResearch Associate DepartmentsDepartment of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience Research ThemesInterestsI am exploring cognitive ability in sheep as a precursor for developing and validating cognitive and emotional markers for early onset Huntingtons Disease in the ovine model. I am particularly interested in behavioural anomalies reflecting altered mechanics of the basal ganglia system. Research Focus
