Who We Are

John Hodges

Professor of Behavioural Neurology

I trained in medicine and psychiatry in London, Southampton and Oxford before gravitating to neurology and becoming enamoured by neuropsychology. In 1990, I was appointed a University Lecturer in Cambridge and in 1997 became MRC Professor of Behavioural Neurology. After a sabbatical in Sydney in 2002 with Glenda Halliday, I rekindled a love of sea, sun and surf which culminated in a move there in 2007. I have written over 400 papers on aspects of neuropsychology (especially memory and languages) and dementia, plus six books. I am currently building a multidisciplinary research group focusing on aspects of frontotemporal dementia.
