    • This work was carried out on healthy older people and people affected by Parkinson's disease. In this paper we showed that a tiny area of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus is important when we need to use several pieces of information to make a decision. In other words, this brain area helps us to reason well when we need to take more than one thing into account. In this paper we also showed that dopamine improved consolidation of memory after initial learning. This finding led to much of our current work investigating the role of dopamine in memory.
