Barbara Sahakian

Sahakian completed her PhD in psychopharmacology at Darwin College, Cambridge in the department of psychology at the University of Cambridge.{{cite thesis |degree=PhD|first=Barbara|last=Sahakian |title=The effects of isolation on the unconditional behaviour and response to drugs in rats |publisher=University of Cambridge |date=1977 |url=http://ulmss-newton.lib.cam.ac.uk/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=13365|author-link=Barbara Sahakian}} Following this, Sahakian studied for a Diploma in Clinical Psychology and became a Chartered Psychologist.{{cite web|title=Barbara Sahakian: Profile|url=http://www.neuroethics.ox.ac.uk/our_members/barbara_sahakian|website=The Oxford Centre for Neuroethics|access-date=17 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150417145412/http://www.neuroethics.ox.ac.uk/our_members/barbara_sahakian|archive-date=17 April 2015|url-status=dead}}

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.

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.

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.{{cite web|last=Sahakian|first=Barbara|title=Decision Making & the Ethics of "Smart Drugs"|url=http://theglobalherald.com/decision-making-the-ethics-of-smart-drugs-professor-barbara-sahakian/29427/|work=The Global Herald|publisher=24 Hour Trading Ltd|access-date=5 June 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608232021/http://theglobalherald.com/decision-making-the-ethics-of-smart-drugs-professor-barbara-sahakian/29427/|archive-date=8 June 2013|url-status=dead}}{{cite journal|editor1-last=Sahakian|editor1-first=B.
