Combining cognition with conservation to help save a critically endangered species
Cognition, which encompasses the mental processes behind perception, learning, decision-making and memory, underlies many animal behaviours. Read more
Lateral hypothalamus as a visual centre controlling arousal, autonomic function and reflex behaviours
In addition to supporting our conscious perception of the world around us, light and visual stimuli exert wide ranging effects on animal physiology and behaviour via hard-wired ‘reflexes’ which range from simple effects of light on sleep, alertness and neuroendocrine function to the avoidance of rapidly approaching objects.

Emergent leadership by well-informed individuals in self-organising groups
Background. Groups of molecules, cells and organisms often display sophisticated collective properties whose complexity far exceeds the capacity of the individual units. Read more
Using artificial intelligence and machine vision for real time identification and prediction of aggressive behaviour in livestock
Currently health and welfare assessment are done by trained assessors and as a result is time and labour consuming. This process can also be subjective, and it is sometimes questionable if the auditor is measuring animals under normal farm conditions. Read more
Neural correlates of social hierarchies
Sociality is widespread across the animal kingdom, ranging from simple aggregations to long-lived groups with complex relationships and social behaviours. Read more
MSc By Research: Development and validation of pre-clinical translational assessments for apathy-like behaviour
Apathy is one of the biggest neurological problems of our times. It is a neuropsychiatric symptom associated with many brain disorders and is the most common form of behavioural and psychological anomaly in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsonism, dementia, depression and schizophrenia. Read more

A computational framework of associative learning and memory formation
Research Group:
School of Computing
When a musician plays piano, she needs to recall a sequence of notes. Neuroscientists seek to understand how brain activity gives rise to a timed sequence of events, as a result of associative learning and memory formation. Read more
