Model-predictive control of brain plasticity for optimal non-invasive brain stimulation

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Neuroplasticity is the mechanism that underpins the brain’s ability to learn or recovery from traumatic events, but also its deterioration underlies several Neurodegenerative diseases and mental illnesses. Read more

Structure and signalling of AMPA glutamate receptors in synaptic plasticity

Medical Research Council (Cambridge) Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Information transfer in the brain occurs at synapses, where memories are stored as a result of synaptic plasticity processes. AMPA-type glutamate-receptors (AMPA-Rs) ion channels, are the main mediators of signal transmission, and centrally contribute to synaptic plasticity. Read more

Driving phenotypic plasticity and metastasis in small cell lung cancer

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Underlying this aggressiveness is intra-tumoural heterogeneity driven by phenotypic plasticity wherein tumour cells transition from a neuroendocrine (NE) to a non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) phenotype. Read more
