Intertemporal Processes in Neurocognitive Development
Join a programme of work that aims to build conceptual and empirical bridges between the physiological, psychological, and cultural influences on human adolescent development. Read more
How do prenatal steroids elevate autism likelihood?
The causes of autism remain unknown. Some literature has showed a link between higher levels of steroid hormones such as testosterone in the womb and autism in children, particularly males. Read more
Ion channel regulation in models of neurodegeneration
Ion channels are important regulators of cellular physiology. There is now growing awareness that these proteins are invovled in pathological states, with relation to neurodegeneration voltage-gated potassium and voltage-gated calicum channels have been implicated. Read more
How do hormones regulate memory?
Deficiencies of thyroid hormone are common throughout the globe. Adult-onset hypothyroidism is prevalent in around 8-10% of the population and is associated with reproductive disorders, anxiety, depression and impairment of memory. Read more
The effects of bi/multilingualism on brain structure and function
Increasing evidence suggests that speaking two or more languages has particular effects on the brain. Read more
Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems
Virtual reality systems are fundamentally altering how we study human sensory perception. Similarly, to build good virtual reality systems we need a clear understanding of how the brain integrates sensory information into a robust and useful percept. Read more
Music and language processing in autism and amusia
Music and language are fundamental traits of human existence. They both rely on complex sound sequences to convey meaning. It has been hotly debated whether the two are processed through distinct cognitive modules or using shared mechanisms. Read more
Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms
Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more
Can brain activity inform us about the neurotoxicity of agricultural compounds?
Project Overview. We will investigate the effect of agricultural compounds on neuronal activity. We will use brain slices and neuronal cultures, as models of the brain. 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
Neural and behavioural correlates of speech production in Parkinson's disease
Speech is a complex task requiring highly coordinated movements of a large group of respiratory, laryngeal and articulatory muscles and involves precise integration with auditory and somatosensory feedback to plan and execute speech movements. Read more
Understanding the link between healthy ageing and social interaction
Project Overview: . Healthy ageing is a priority research area since we are living longer than ever before. Read more
Effect of dietary vitamin B supplementation on brain synaptic activity
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of B vitamins (e.g., B6, B12 and folate) for optimal physiological and neurological functioning. Read more
