In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Exploring Molecular Pathways for Improved Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury

University of Portsmouth School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences

In the UK, 50,000 people currently live with spinal cord injury (SCI), and an additional 2,500 new cases are reported annually. SCI results in a permanent loss of sensation and movement, serving as a primary cause of paralysis for which effective treatments are currently unavailable. Read more

Understanding how mutations in the kinase TLK2 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Tousled-like kinase 2 (TLK2) was recently identified as a novel genetic locus for a neurodevelopmental disorder. Patients predominantly possess de novo mutations in TLK2, leading to a reduction in its expression or kinase activity. Read more

Role of the endosomal pathway in regulating sleep and circadian rhythms

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Ageing and many neurodegenerative disorders are characterised by a progressive loss of neurons in particular brain regions leading to behavioural changes including cognitive decline, sleep disruption and circadian dysregulation. Read more

Investigating the Role of Subcortical Visual Pathways for 'Blindsight' and Gist Perception in Parkinson's Disease Using Multimodal Neuroimaging and Computational Neuroscience

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).
