KETOGENIC DIET: An in vitro single-cell imaging and molecular analysis approach to determine and therapeutically target the control principles of neuronal bioenergetics for the treatment of epilepsy with ketogenic diet

Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland RCSI StAR International PhD Programme Research Projects

Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS)CNS. Glutamate receptor activation imposes a significant work load and energy demand on neurons which requires neurons to increase ATP production. Read more

Investigating intracellular signalling mechanisms in the hippocampus: implications in memory formation and disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are non-coding RNAs that mediate the silencing of specific messenger RNAs. miRNAs are involved in the regulation of all cellular processes and they are particularly important in coordinating gene expression and function in neurons (1). Read more

Does ultrasound-mediated neuromodulation restore cellular function in Alzheimer’s disease?

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. A key feature of Alzheimer’s disease – the leading form of dementia - is diminished neural activity in various brain regions, including those important for memory function such as the hippocampus (Herholz et al., 2007; O’Brien et al., 2010). Read more

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying spinal cord regeneration

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

About 1200 people a year are left paralysed in the UK due to a Spinal Cord Injury (or SCI). This is because injuries involving the central nervous system (CNS) have very poor capacities to regenerate, thus resulting in a permanent loss of function. Read more
