Martin Clark

Lecturer in Neurobiology

School of Psychology and Computer Science

Electrophysiology, multi-electrode in vitro recording, acute slice preparation, immunohistochemistry

Martin completed his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the University of Sheffield, obtaining an undergraduate degree in Psychology in 2005 and a Master’s degree in Psychological Research Methods in 2015. Martin also spent eight years working as an A level Psychology teacher and examiner, developing and delivering content on a variety of Psychological topics, such as: Biopsychology, Sports Psychology and Forensic Psychology . Martin completed a PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Enrico Bracci at the University of Sheffield in 2018, where he developed techniques to investigate output of the basal ganglia using multi-electrode array technology. His PhD examined the extrinsic modulation of ventral pallidum neurons by dopamine and serotonin, parts of which were recently published in more...
