Optimising functional independence across the life and healthspan using neurostimulation

University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
Neuroplasticity is integral to recovery and maintenance of functional independence as we age, and even more crucial in individuals with developmental disorders such as Cerebral Palsy and those with injuries to their brain and/or central nervous system (Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, MS). Read more
 Supervisors: Dr S.L. Astill, Dr I Delis, Dr R M Ichiyama

Simultaneous measures of brain and blood oxygenation: Revealing the function behind ‘functional’ brain mapping signals

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology
A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. 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).
