ORVILLE JACKSON
entered program 1998, CBB.  Daniel Schacter, adviser.  My interests lie in the domain of cognitive neuroscience with a particular emphasis on the neural underpinnings of memory and attention. My first year project is using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to asses the role of anterior hippocampus in relational encoding. I am also involved in a project using selective cholinergic lesioning of the medial septum in rats to assess its involvement in attention to distal vs local
cues in spatial learning.
