Professor Neil McNaughton's research interests combine a psychological analysis of emotion and memory with a physiological analysis of the rhythmical electrical activity called “theta” in both rats and humans. He uses the effects of anxiolytic drugs to link the psychological and physiological levels of analysis and to generalize from laboratory experiments to clinical situations. Anxiolytic drugs reduce anxiety in the clinic, independently of chemical type. He has shown, in rats, that these drugs impair theta and therefore the function of the temporal lobe - which is thought to be crucial for some types of memory.
At the neural level, his lab is currently investigating the pharmacology and neural control of hippocampal theta and its relation to theta activity recorded from the frontal cortex. This includes the use of “brain bypass” and other techniques to restore function after neural damage. At the psychological level, he is analyzing human EEG for specific neural signatures of goal conflict and linking this to personality measures and the neuroeconomic theory.
Professor Neil McNaughton has been extensively involved in setting up the undergraduate neuroscience programme at Otago, the only one of its kind in New Zealand, and was the director for 17 years. He also served as director of the Neuroscience Research Centre and the Neural Systems Structure and Function Research Theme and was one of the founders of the Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in October 2014.
