Barbara Jacquelyn Sahakian, CBE , FBA , FMedSci is professor of clinical neuropsychology at the department of psychiatry and Medical Research Council (MRC)/Wellcome Trust Behavioural and Clinical Neuroscience Institute, University of Cambridge. She is also an honorary clinical psychologist at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge. [3] She has an international reputation in the fields of cognitive psychopharmacology, neuroethics, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and neuroimaging. [4] [5] [6]

Contents

Sahakian is a fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge. [7] She is currently president of the International Neuroethics Society (INS), of which she is a founder member. [8] She is past president of the British Association for Psychopharmacology (BAP), having served as president from 2012 to 2014. [9]

Education

Sahakian completed her PhD in psychopharmacology at Darwin College, Cambridge in the department of psychology at the University of Cambridge. [10] Following this, Sahakian studied for a Diploma in Clinical Psychology and became a Chartered Psychologist. [11]

Career

Sahakian is best known for her work on cognitive enhancement using pharmacological treatments, early detection of Alzheimer's disease, cognition and depression and neuroethics. Sahakian's research is aimed at understanding the neural basis of cognitive, emotional and behavioural dysfunction to develop more effective pharmacological and psychological treatments. The focus of her lab is on early detection of neuropsychiatric disorders, differential diagnosis and proof of concept studies using cognitive enhancing drugs and cognitive training. [9]

In her research, Sahakian uses techniques such as psychopharmacological, neuropsychological and neuroimaging (fMRI and PET). Key research areas for her group are Alzheimer's disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), substance abuse, depression and mania. [4] [5]

In 2007, Sahakian raised concerns regarding the ethics of using drugs intended to help dementia and Alzheimer's patients to instead enhance cognitive function in healthy people. [12] [13] In May 2014, Sahakian published an article on the subject of achieving brain health for a flourishing society within the next decade. [14] In this article, she included a list of experts from a range of areas, including neuroscience, innovation and technology. Sahakian was asked to write this article for Sir John Beddington, Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government. [15]

Sahakian has published over 400 papers [5] covering these topics in scientific journals, including many publications in the prestigious scientific and medical journals Science , [16] Nature , [17] Nature Neuroscience , [18] The Lancet , [19] and the British Medical Journal . [20] [21] She is an associate editor of Psychological Medicine . [22] The ISI Web of Science database credits her with a Hirsch (h) Index of 100. [23]

Sahakian is co-author of 'Bad Moves. How decision making goes wrong and the ethics of smart drugs', published by Oxford University Press in 2013. [24] She is also co-editor of 'The Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics', published in 2011 by Oxford University Press. [25]

In addition to her Presidencies of the BAP and INS, Sahakian is also on the council of the International College of Neuropsychopharmacology (CINP) [26] and on the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP) Review Board. [27] She is also a London Imperial Affiliated Professor [28] and a Distinguished Research fellow at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics. [29] Previously, Sahakian has been a member of the MRC Neurosciences and Mental Health Board (2006–2010) and a member of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Committee on Women in Neuroscience. [9] Recently, a Royal Institution article named Barbara Sahakian amongst the top women in science. [30]

Inventions

Sahakian's research uses neuropsychological tests, such as the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) tests, which she co-invented in the 1980s. [31] CANTAB is now used at over 700 research institutes worldwide and is backed by over 1,200 peer-review articles. [32] Sahakian serves as a Senior Consultant to Cambridge Cognition, a spin-out of the University of Cambridge. Cambridge Cognition now provides CANTAB. [33]

The CANTAB PAL touchscreen test, which assesses visual memory and new learning, received the highest rating of world-leading 4* grade from the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014. [34] [35] Following this award, CANTAB and CANTAB PAL were highlighted in the Medical Schools Council 'Health of the Nation' 2015 publication, which described CANTAB as a boost to the UK economy. [36]

Neuroscience and mental health policy

Sahakian is a lead on many high-impact international neuroscience and mental health policy reports, [37] including the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funded report on Grand Challenges in Global Mental Health [38] and the UK Government Foresight Project on Mental Capital and Wellbeing in 2008. [39] The latter project emphasised good brain health and wellbeing throughout the life course and highlighted important concepts, such as cognitive reserve and resilience to stress. [40]

Sahakian recently presented on neuroscience and mental health policy at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2014 in Davos, Switzerland. She is a Member of the WEF Global Agenda Council on Brain Research. [41]

Press

Sahakian frequently engages the public in science, appearing on programmes such as BBC Newsnight, [42] and on both The Life Scientific [2] and the Today Programme [43] on BBC Radio 4. She has also taken part in numerous newspaper interviews, such as The Sunday Times [44] and Forbes Online. [45] In 2012, Sahakian contributed to the catalogue and appeared in a video for the Wellcome Trust Superhuman Exhibition. [46] In May 2014, she took part in a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA), fielding questions on a range of subjects, such as depression and cognitive enhancing drugs. [47] In July 2014, Sahakian dispelled the myth that humans only use 10% of their brains in regard to the plot of the film Lucy . [48] In March 2015, she advised on the 'You have been upgraded' event at the Science Museum in London, which featured demonstrations by members of her Laboratory. [49] In the context of presentations on neuroscience, brain health, cognitive enhancement and neuropsychiatric disorders, she has frequently stated the importance of understanding brain health and disease. [50] [51]

Honours and awards

Since 2004, Sahakian has been a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences. [52] She is also associated with the Human Brain Project. [53] Sahakian is also a Member of the International Expert Jury for the 2017 Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung Prize. [54]

Sahakian was he was appointed to the F C Donders Chair of Psychopharmacology at the University of Utrecht in 2005 and the Distinguished International Scholar Award at the University of Pennsylvania in 2009. In 2010, she received the International College of Geriatric Psychoneuropharmacology (ICGP) Senior Investigator Award. [9] In 2008, Sahakian gave the Alfred Deakin Innovation Lecture in Melbourne, Australia. [55]

In 2015, Sahakian was awarded a Doctor of Science degree from the University of Cambridge, [56] which is the highest degree awarded by the university for distinguished research in science. [57]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Neuroscience</span> Scientific study of the nervous system

Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system, its functions and disorders. It is a multidisciplinary science that combines physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, developmental biology, cytology, psychology, physics, computer science, chemistry, medicine, statistics, and mathematical modeling to understand the fundamental and emergent properties of neurons, glia and neural circuits. The understanding of the biological basis of learning, memory, behavior, perception, and consciousness has been described by Eric Kandel as the "epic challenge" of the biological sciences.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cognitive neuroscience</span> Scientific field

Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific field that is concerned with the study of the biological processes and aspects that underlie cognition, with a specific focus on the neural connections in the brain which are involved in mental processes. It addresses the questions of how cognitive activities are affected or controlled by neural circuits in the brain. Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology and affective neuroscience. Cognitive neuroscience relies upon theories in cognitive science coupled with evidence from neurobiology, and computational modeling.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Nootropic</span> Compound intended to improve cognitive function

Nootropics, colloquially brain supplements, smart drugs and cognitive enhancers, are natural, semisynthetic or synthetic compounds which purportedly improve cognitive functions, such as executive functions, attention or memory.

In philosophy and neuroscience, neuroethics is the study of both the ethics of neuroscience and the neuroscience of ethics. The ethics of neuroscience concerns the ethical, legal and social impact of neuroscience, including the ways in which neurotechnology can be used to predict or alter human behavior and "the implications of our mechanistic understanding of brain function for society... integrating neuroscientific knowledge with ethical and social thought".

Cognitive liberty, or the "right to mental self-determination", is the freedom of an individual to control their own mental processes, cognition, and consciousness. It has been argued to be both an extension of, and the principle underlying, the right to freedom of thought. Though a relatively recently defined concept, many theorists see cognitive liberty as being of increasing importance as technological advances in neuroscience allow for an ever-expanding ability to directly influence consciousness. Cognitive liberty is not a recognized right in any international human rights treaties, but has gained a limited level of recognition in the United States, and is argued to be the principle underlying a number of recognized rights.

Martha Julia Farah is a cognitive neuroscience researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. She has worked on an unusually wide range of topics; the citation for her lifetime achievement award from the Association for Psychological Science states that “Her studies on the topics of mental imagery, face recognition, semantic memory, reading, attention, and executive functioning have become classics in the field.”

Neuroanthropology is the study of the relationship between culture and the brain. This field of study emerged from a 2008 conference of the American Anthropological Association. It is based on the premise that lived experience leaves identifiable patterns in brain structure, which then feed back into cultural expression. The exact mechanisms are so far ill defined and remain speculative.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Neurolaw</span>

Neurolaw is a field of interdisciplinary study that explores the effects of discoveries in neuroscience on legal rules and standards. Drawing from neuroscience, philosophy, social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and criminology, neurolaw practitioners seek to address not only the descriptive and predictive issues of how neuroscience is and will be used in the legal system, but also the normative issues of how neuroscience should and should not be used.
