How experience shapes the brain: from experience, to molecules, cells, circuits and behaviour.

How experience shapes the brain. from experience, to molecules, cells, circuits and behaviour. The aim of the project is to discover how experience shapes the brain and test candidate molecular mechanisms underlying structural brain plasticity and degeneration. Read more

Function Brain imaging in disease: what are the activation maps really telling us?

Functional brain imaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have already revolutionized how we can study the processes and functioning of the healthy human brain and are making an increasing impact on our understanding on what goes wrong in disease of the brain. Read more

Application of an in vitro blood brain barrier model for brain permeability studies of air-borne environmental pollutants (CENTA 2024-B18)

Pollution is the great challenge of the Anthropocene epoch, contributing to 9 million premature deaths each year. Particles for a major constituent of air pollution are harmful to human and environmental health, with fine particles in the air resulting in a 4-6 month life expectancy reduction in the UK.

The Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC)

ELSC is home to an internationally acclaimed brain research community, comprised of world-renowned scientists and faculty, talented postdoctoral scholars and students from across the globe. Read more

Integrative model of inflammation, cognition and brain changes in individuals with psychosis

Additional supervisor. Dr Zia Katshu - mohammad.katshu@nottingham.ac.uk. Person Specification. Applicants should have a strong background in clinical neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience or neuroimaging, and ideally a background in mental health, advanced multivariate statistical analyses or data science. Read more

Mass spectrometry imaging of brain energy metabolites

The brain is very reliant upon a constant supply of oxygen and glucose for the mitochondrial synthesis of ATP to meet the high metabolic demands of neuronal activity. Read more

Feeding microbes to protect the brain: does the gut microbiota mediate the risk-reducing effects of a healthy diet on Alzheimer’s disease?

Background. Ways of reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias are critically needed, given the almost total lack of truly effective therapeutic options, even despite newer anti-amyloid drugs1. Read more

BBSRC NLD Doctoral Training Partnership: Brain rhythms that serve as the ‘binder’ for memory and concept formation.

Memories are like the internal movies of our lives, allowing us to replay past events or to imagine the future. Unlike movies however, scientists do not yet understand how the brain merges information from the senses to form new memories, nor how it could be stimulated to improve or disrupt memories.
