Early emotions and concepts about nature arising from play in outdoor settings
A connection between a child’s early language development and the learning environment is well established. What is less clear is the manner in which specific environments affect the linguistic skills of young children with resulting effects on their emotional and conceptual growth. Read more
Can a bacteria brain play Ping-pong and Go?
Although initial discussions regarding bioelectricity and its role in the fundamental understanding of various cellular behaviours took place in the 1970s, the bioelectrical view of cells as a more general concept has remained limited to the fringes of biological research for five decades.

Determining the roles that GRK and arrestin proteins play in the development of hypertension and vascular disease
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a very large family of heptahelical, integral membrane proteins that mediate a wide variety of physiological processes ranging from the transmission of light and odorant signals to the mediation of neurotransmission and hormonal actions. Read more

Online Active Communities: The role technology can play in the virtual support of our physical activity
Research Group:
SPARKLE - Stirling Physical Activity Research, Knowledge & Learning Exchange
Lockdown and social isolation were common phrases that gained recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals were advised to not meet up with friends and loved ones, to stay indoors and avoid crowded places. Read more
Optimising Sport Nutrition Practices in Academy Football Players (Ref: RDFC22/HLS/SER/BRIGGS)
Limited age/sport-specific nutritional recommendations are evident in the literature for young athletes. Instead adult recommendations are often extrapolated to adolescent counterparts, despite distinct difference in training and match-paly demands, as well as non-comparable stages of growth and maturation.
