Trajectories of wellbeing; emotional wellbeing across adolescence
The COVID19 pandemic has exacerbated the crisis in youth mental health and understanding of how to support wellbeing and mental health outside of NHS services is thus vital. Read more
Evaluating the role of aquaporin in epilepsy and neurodevelopment in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes. Patients with TSC present with many symptoms; including brain tumours like subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA) and neurodevelopmental lesions, called ‘tubers’. Read more
Brain on “FIRE” – investigating the role of microglia in epilepsy
Immune cells are increasingly recognised as significant contributors to developing epilepsy and are implicated in up to 40% of the most devastating epilepsy syndromes1. Read more
Inflammation and brain tumour growth
Our basic research aims to understand fundamental mechanisms of inflammation, such as the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Read more
Assessment of nutritional status, body composition, motor- and neurodevelopment in preterm and term children aged 2-4 years: an international, multicentre study.
Oxford Brookes University,. Faculty of Health and Life Sciences,. Department of Sport, Health Sciences and Social Work. Masters by Research one year, full-time self-funded programme. Read more
Neurophysiological and pharmacological assessment of endogenous pain modulation in the human spinal cord
Location. St Luke’s Campus. Department of Clinical and Biomedical Sciences, RILD Building, RD&E Hospital Wonford, Exeter. Read more
Investigation of the role of enhancer RNA in DNA damage and repair
The conversion of information stored in DNA to produce proteins is essential to all forms of life. During this process, the integrity of DNA is challenged by attacks from molecules produced as by-products, such as reactive oxygen species. Read more
The walking mind: Can aerobic training improve cognition and walking performance in stroke survivors?
Aerobic training promotes physiological and psychological recovery from stroke, but its benefits to cognitive performance after stroke are relatively unexplored. Read more
Understanding non-neurological health care services in people with Parkinson’s
Improving the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s is the ultimate aim of this PhD opportunity. Read more
Chasing functional microstructure: the relationship between quantitative MRI indices and conduction delays
Research Group:
Imaging Science
Axonal properties, such as axonal diameter and degree of myelination are known to affect the speed of conduction of neuronal signal. Read more
Inner speech in post-stroke aphasia
The position offers an exciting opportunity to join a team studying the neuroscience of inner speech, directed by Dr. Sharon Geva. Read more
Linking ADHD traits to neural measures of response inhibition and testing reliability
One core measure of cognitive control is that of response inhibition. Appropriately enacting response inhibition is a trait that may be lessened as… Read more
Modulation of neuronal circuits using non-invasive ultrasound stimulation
The research project is based on recent functional studies that conclusively demonstrated the capacity of transcranial low-intensity ultrasound stimulation to reversibly activate or suppress neural activity with high spatial specificity in vivo. Read more
Mechanisms underlying the effects of light and visual stimuli on mood
Light is not only important for vision, light responsiveness extends to fundamental aspects of mood, cognition, and performance. Read more
PhD Studentship in Motor Neuron Disease – Using a Primate Model to Test Novel Therapies
Overview. Interested in neurodegenerative disorders? This PhD project will use a new primate model of motor neuron disease (MND) to explore disease mechanisms and test novel therapies and biomarkers of disease progression. Read more
