PHD / MSCR PROJECT: How neurones engage astrocytes in network activity
It is now firmly established that in the mammalian brain neuronal networks cannot successfully perform their functions without concomitant metabolic and signalling support from the adjacent glial cells, called astrocytes. Read more

Cancer Neuroscience: Investigating the impact of non-CNS tumours on neuronal plasticity in the brain
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in approximately 18 million new cases and 10 million deaths each year. Read more
MScR - Early-life stress, susceptibility to mental health disorders and glia: central immune response in a rat model of pre-term birth
Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental health disorders affecting 1 in 4 people in the UK. Depression is the second most common cause of disability and together with other mental health disorders costs the UK economy an estimated £105 billion per year. Read more
MScR - Astrocyte mechanisms in depression
Depression is the most common mental health illness affecting about 20% of the population at least once in their lifetime. Depression has been proposed to be a result of a decreased level of brain monoamines such as serotonin. 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
Computational neuroscience: Statistical signal processing for multivariate neuronal data, Neural computing with Spiking neural networks.
How does the human brain work? As you read this text, the pixels on your screen are converted into a series of spike trains passing along the neural pathways in your brain, allowing you to understand the content. Read more
PhD opportunities in Cognitive Neuroscience
Join cognitive neuroscientists, clinical neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, psychopharmacologists, sports and exercise psychologists, and carry out cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to understand and restore human brain function and health. Read more
Animats - neural culture-controlled robots for closed-loop neuroscience
The project will continue research started at the University of Reading on animats - robotic platforms controlled in real time by activity of biological neuron cultures - and will investigate the methods for implementing efficient conditioning protocols. 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
