Overview

Edmund T. Rolls is affiliated with the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and medicine, with a significant focus on cognitive neuroscience. Other subfields include cellular and molecular neuroscience, experimental and cognitive psychology, radiology, nuclear medicine and imaging, and sensory systems.

The scientist's work covers several main topics, chiefly functional brain connectivity studies, memory and neural mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, neural and behavioral psychology studies, advanced neuroimaging techniques and applications, and olfactory and sensory function studies.

Edmund T. Rolls has published extensively, with notable recent papers including:

  • The orbitofrontal cortex: reward, emotion and depression (2020, Brain Communications)
  • Associations of Social Isolation and Loneliness With Later Dementia (2022, Neurology)
  • Emotion, motivation, decision-making, the orbitofrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and the amygdala (2023, Brain Structure and Function)
  • Sleep duration, brain structure, and psychiatric and cognitive problems in children (2020, Molecular Psychiatry)
  • Functional connectivity of the right inferior frontal gyrus and orbitofrontal cortex in depression (2020, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience)

Frequent co-authors in their publications are Jianfeng Feng, Wei Cheng, Chu-Chung Huang, and Gustavo Deco.

The scientist has published in several recurring venues, including:

  • Cerebral Cortex (13 publications)
  • Hippocampus (8 publications)
  • Human Brain Mapping (6 publications)
  • Brain Structure and Function (5 publications)
  • Molecular Psychiatry (5 publications)

Edmund T. Rolls also authored the book Brain Computations, published by Oxford University Press in 2020.

Recognition for their work includes being named a Member of Academia Europaea in 1989 and receiving the Spearman Medal from the British Psychological Society in 1976.
