EASTBIO: Determining the neural code and network computations supporting episodic memory

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
A memory of an experience is carried by a pattern of electrical activity across thousands of neurons. This project asks what the crucial elements of this 'neural code' are, and how the networks involved generate it. Read more

EASTBIO: How does declining cerebral blood flow affect oligodendrocytes, white matter and cognitive function during brain ageing?

University of Edinburgh
School of Neurological and Cardiovascular Sciences (College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine)
White matter consists of long-range, myelinated axonal pathways that coordinate information flow across brain networks. In ageing, reduced cerebral perfusion and vascular dysfunction render white matter tracts particularly vulnerable. Read more
