Understanding the role of the reward system in the pathophysiology and treatment of mood disorders
Reward sensitivity (the value attributed to rewarding outcomes by an individual) is attenuated in people with mood disorders and is known to be mediated by dopaminergic signalling. Read more
Understanding the heterogeneity of pathology in dementia with Lewy bodies to aid the interpretation of biomarkers
The primary pathology of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is alpha-synuclein, however multiple studies have demonstrated that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related pathologies (tau and beta amyloid) play an important role in disease progression driving spread of pathology and accelerating cognitive decline.

Understanding Essential Tremor as a Miscalibrated Internal Model
Essential tremor (ET) is the most common reason for referral to a neurologist, with a prevalence of around 1-3%. Sufferers experience involuntary shaking of the limbs at around 5Hz; mild cases cause only social embarrassment, but more severe tremor can be disabling and limit activities of daily living.
