Dr Zahid Padamsey Our aim is to understand how nutrition impacts brain function and energy use. We focus on how dietary manipulations (e.g. calorie restriction, high fat diet) affect the cortex, which we probe in vivo using two-photon imaging and electrophysiology ...
Dr David Parker We examine cellular and synaptic properties in neuronal networks using the lamprey spinal cord locomotor network as a model system. While this network is claimed, and often cited, as being characterised, there are actually significant gaps in our ...
Dr Roy Patterson We have developed a computational model of the auditory signal processing that transforms a sound wave into the auditory image you hear in response to that sound wave. We investigate how the cochlea and neural centres in the auditory pathway proce...
Professor Ole Paulsen The primary interest of my group is the relationship between network oscillations and synaptic plasticity. Network oscillations naturally organise spike timing conducive to spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a strong candidate for a mechani...
Professor Jesus Perez My research activity is mainly focused on early detection and intervention in psychosis. I am particularly interested in the epidemiology and psychopathology of people at high-risk of developing psychosis, with psychotic experiences and with first...
Dr Luca Peruzzotti-Jametti Research in our group is focused on the understanding of inflammation in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Over the past years, our research in regenerative neuroimmunology led to novel experimental advanced therapeutics with neural stem cell...
Professor Anna Philpott Our laboratory is interested in understanding the coordination of cell proliferation with cell fate determination and differentiation in development, stem cells and reprogramming, focusing particularly on the nervous system (as well as in endocri...
Dr Kate Plaisted-Grant My research interest in autism was sparked by the fascinating cognitive strengths shown by many individuals with autism. These include exceptional abilities to process fine details, better discrimination abilities compared to typical individuals a...
Dr Stefano Pluchino Recent evidence from our own laboratory indicates that the systemic injection of somatic neural stem/precursor cells (NPCs) very efficiently protect the CNS from the chronic degeneration induced by inflammation both in small rodents as well as in ...
Dr Jasper Poort I want to understand how we selectively process behaviourally relevant visual input. How does the brain turn a constant overflow of sensory information into selective representations of our environment that can optimally guide our actions? Studyin...
Professor Brechtje Post My research primarily focuses on speech prosody - intonation, accentuation, rhythm, and phrasing. Prosody simultaneously encodes information from different components of the linguistic system in the speech signal, in particular morpho-syntax, prag...
Professor Stephen Price Glioblastomas are the most aggressive, malignant primary tumour of the brain. They are also unfortunately the commonest. We have not seen any new treatments in over a decade. My group is particularly interested in focal therapies, surgery and radi...
Dr Christopher Proctor Chris's research is focused on engineering bionic systems to improve healthcare and advance bioscience. On going project themes include:
Electronic drug delivery: Targeted drug delivery can focus treatment on the region of the body affected by a ...
