Biography

I am Professor of Experimental Brain Research in Trinity College Dublin, and am a Principal Investigator in, and was the Director of, the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience from 209-2016; I am a member of the academic staff of the School of Psychology.

I was an undergraduate and postgraduate at NUI Galway (BA, MA). I undertook my doctoral work (DPhil) at the University of Oxford. I am a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin (FTCD) and a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science (FAPS). I was also elected a Member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA).

Research Focus: My academic research concerns the brain systems supporting learning and memory, and how they are affected by stress and depression; I also explore the intersection of psychology and neuroscience with policy, evidence-based policy-making and related areas. To borrow a phrase, I am interested in understanding how `the brain meets the world". I have published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers since 1993 in leading international journals, in addition to having written 4 full-length monographs. I have also edited many special issues of journals and books.

Research Support and Research Funding: My research work has been or currently is supported by the Wellcome Trust; Science Foundation Ireland; the Health Research Board; the European Commission; GlaxoSmithKline; Alkermes.

I blog at www.brainpizza.com, mostly on neuroscience-, psychology-, science- and public policy-related themes (and maybe the intersection of all of these themes, but sometimes on other things entirely).

Research Expertise

Description

Research: My research concerns the brain systems supporting learning and memory, and how they are affected by stress and depression; to borrow a phrase, I am interested in understanding how `the brain meets the world". One major focus of my research are the cognitive and memory systems of the brain and how these are impacted by stress and depression. This work resulted in many publications, including a landmark paper (Aggleton and O"Mara, 2022) positing a `tripartite model" of the brain systems supporting episodic memory. My other major research focus concerns the behavioural and brain sciences and public policy. I have focused particularly on the neuroscience of torture, where I can apply my knowledge of brain, cognitive, and physiological function. This work started with a high-profile paper (O"Mara, 2009), which led to many interviews and press pieces. Many other papers followed, and a Harvard University Press monograph: Why Torture Doesn't Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation, widely reviewed as a landmark work in torture by philosophers, lawyers, political scientists, and practitioners. It is cited in evidence in cases involving torture, most particular in Guantanamo Bay, and the Reports of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture. Key Research Question: How does the brain change as a result of experience? To investigate this general problem, I have adopted multidisciplinary techniques from diverse disciplines (e.g. neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, behavioural analysis, neuroimmunology). Techniques routinely used in my research group include: in vivo neurophysiology in freely-moving/anaesthetised rat (field potentials/action potential recordings of single neurons/neuronal ensembles); neurobehavioural assays (automated water, radial, open field; object exploration, odour discrimination, etc.); brain protein assays (BDNF; prostaglandins); radioimmunoassays; neurohistology.
