We have 32 Neuroscience (test) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Early Detection and Stratification of Dementia using Transformative Non-Invasive Holistic Optical Biomarker Technology in Biofluids

Supervisory Team: Professor Sumeet Mahajan, Professor Amrit Mudher, Professor Chris Kipps. Project description. Globally, there is a growing and a huge unmet need for tools and technologies that allow rapid, affordable and accurate dementia diagnosis. Read more

Understanding the underlying pathological mechanisms to find a cure for Batten disease

The Neurodegenerative and Lysosomal Disease Laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular basis of neurodegenerative disease, particularly how lysosome dysfunction influences the development of Batten disease and Parkinson’s disease. Read more

Assessment of premorbid cognitive ability

  Research Group: Centre for Mind and Behaviour
Research Group. Centre for Mind and Behaviour. Proposed supervisory team. Prof Peter Bright (Psychology). Dr Ian van der Linde (Computing & Information Science). Read more

Inhibition and excitation in the brain

An appropriate balance between excitatory and inhibitory neural processes in the brain underlies healthy psychological function. Two examples of conditions in which there is an imbalance are autism and ADHD. Read more

Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more

Identifying the neurogenetic network underlying visually-driven sleep

General background. Sleep is a behavioural quiescence widely observed in the animal kingdom. During sleep, an animal’s motor activity, as well as their responsiveness to environmental stimuli, are largely reduced. Read more

How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism

The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
