Abstract: Dr Clarke is interested in how different brain areas, and the neurochemicals within them, modulate cognitive and emotion processing. She focuses particularly on structures that show disruption in human psychiatric disease, such as the orbitofrontal cortex, the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the medial prefrontal cortex, using behavioural, neuroimaging and neurochemical techniques.

Dr Clarke graduated with First Class Honours in Neuroscience from the University of Wales, Cardiff. She earned her PhD in 2005 working with Professor Trevor Robbins (Psychology) and Professor Angela Roberts (PDN) on the role of serotonin in the prefrontal cortex. Dr Clarke is currently a Junior Research Fellow at Newnham, and earned an MRC Career Development Award in 2011. She currently investigates serotoninergic modulation of hippocampal-prefrontal ciruitry in the regulation of emotion.
