Assessing the hemodynamic signal sources of fMRI based spontaneous connectivity maps and how neuronal plasticity such as increased spatial working memory can change these networks

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology

Many psychiatric (e.g. schizophrenia) and neurological diseases are characterised by a disturbance of the connections between different parts of the brain that need to communicate with one another. Read more

When do astrocytes contribute to the control of brain blood flow?

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology

In order that the brain can function normally, it is essential that blood flow within the brain is well matched to neuronal metabolic demand. Read more

Function Brain imaging in disease: what are the activation maps really telling us?

University of Sheffield Department of Psychology

Functional brain imaging methods such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have already revolutionized how we can study the processes and functioning of the healthy human brain and are making an increasing impact on our understanding on what goes wrong in disease of the brain. Read more
