Dr Caroline McHutchison

Dr Caroline McHutchison’s research focuses on the difficulties with thinking (cognition) and behaviour (e.g., difficulty making decisions, finding words, feeling unmotivated) that some people with MND experience. She’s particularly interested in when these symptoms first begin and how they develop over time, as well as determining why certain people experience these changes while others do not. 

Caroline studied psychology at Curtin University in Australia before completing her MSc in Human Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Edinburgh. After completed her PhD, also at the University of Edinburgh, she received two post-doctoral fellowships before starting her current role at the University of Stirling.
