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
Development of a semi-automated CT-brain analysis tool for application to real world clinical cohorts
Commercial partner: Brainomix, Oxford. Background. CT-brain imaging is the standard brain imaging modality used in the NHS and globally and is cheaper and better tolerated than MRI particularly in older, frail, multimorbid patients in whom MRI may be contraindicated. Read more
Neurotransmitters, brain blood flow and functional brain imaging signals.r
The function of modulatory neurotransmitter systems such as serotonin, dopamine or acetylcholine are implicated in a wide range of brain diseases and are targeted by a wide range of therapeutic drugs. Read more
Advanced Microstructural Imaging in the Prostate
We invite applications for a dynamic PhD research opportunity in the field of advanced microstructural imaging within the context of prostate health assessment. Read more
Understanding how disease-causing NMDA-R mutations influence synaptic development and function across brain regions
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a major global health burden. One main challenge is understanding how, despite influencing the same genes, individual mutations can cause distinct symptoms, that emerge at distinct stages of development. Read more
Developing computational models of psychosis to explore the impact of schizophrenia-associated CNVs on cortical microcircuitry. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Psychology
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Characterising a novel neuroimmune pathway to treat neurodegenerative disease. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Clinical & Biomedical Sciences
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology (QUBIC) - Quantum-enabled neural imaging
QUBIC is the first nation-wide research Centre at the nexus of quantum and biotechnology globally. Our mission is to lead the world in applying quantum physics to biotechnology, driving fundamental understanding and applications across biomedical imaging, chemical design and clean energy. Read more
The effects of Interleukin-1 primed mesenchymal stem cells on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage
Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is one of the main causes of death and neurological disability after stroke worldwide. Read more
Quantitative MRI measurements to probe brain physiology
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can produce exquisite pictures of the brain. It is used to diagnose a variety of neurological diseases. Read more
Model-predictive control of brain plasticity for optimal non-invasive brain stimulation
Neuroplasticity is the mechanism that underpins the brain’s ability to learn or recovery from traumatic events, but also its deterioration underlies several Neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses. Read more
Sensory experiences in the home for adults with intellectual disability and/or autism: Using technology to improve wellbeing
Research Group:
Developmental Science
Background and rationale. Sensory experience is important for individuals with intellectual disability and autistic people, and sensory stimulation can provide enjoyment and relaxation. Read more
MScR: How does dopamine signalling shape behaviour?
“Shall I go and get something to eat?” At some point in the past few hours, this question may have crossed your mind. Our ability to move towards our goals, and the motivational decisions that regulate these movements, define almost every aspect of our lives. Read more
How signals inside the brain make our brains big
The human brain is unique in many ways, but perhaps the most obvious difference compared with other primates is its size. How the human brain gets to be so large during development specifically in humans is a question that has long intrigued neuroscientists but until recently was difficult to study. Read more
Brain Rhythms and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
The main goal of our research group (Neural Oscillations in Multisensory Communication Group at the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH), University of Birmingham) is to understand the brain’s information processing in human communication. Read more
