The biomechanics and neural control of bird flight in turbulence

University of Leeds
Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
Project Description. Birds routinely fly through gusty or turbulent air that can rapidly destabilise their bodies and wings. Unlike conventional aircraft, bird have highly articulated and compliant wings that can absorb these disturbances and help stabilise flight. Read more

Enabling the in vivo study of human microglia/ human neuron interactions: a new human-mouse chimeric model for neurological disease

University of Leeds
Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
Project Description. How do immune cells help shape the developing human brain? And what happens when this process goes wrong?. This exciting PhD project will create a ground-breaking human-mouse chimera model containing both human neurons and human microglia, the brain's resident immune cells. Read more

How Astrocytes Shape learning in brain and AI networks

University of Exeter
Clinical and Biomedical Sciences
Astrocytes – the star-shaped glia cells in the brain – have long been viewed as support cells for neurons. Recent evidence suggests they also monitor neural activity and release chemical signals that adjust how strongly neurons communicate. Read more
