Habit and health behaviour: to examine the impact of habit strength on a range of health-related behaviours
Past behaviour is typically found to be the strongest predictor of future behaviour. When this occurs it is usually taken to reflect the operation of habits – i.e., learned sequences of acts that have become automatic responses to specific cues. Read more
Weight stigma and health behaviours
Obesity is one of society’s greatest challenges with 2/3rds of UK adults being overweight or obese. Weight stigma (anti-fat attitudes, weight-based prejudice and discrimination) is experienced by 54% of adults and deters individuals from engaging in healthy behaviours targeted in obesity interventions (e.g. Read more
Mathematical Modelling of Neurovascular function: Developing and refining brain tissue models to enable world leading research into neurovascular coupling in health and disease
Developing and refining brain tissue models to enable world leading research into neurovascular coupling in health and disease. Read more
Examining the extent to which planning moderates intention-behaviour relations for various health-related behaviours
Intention is the most proximal determinant of future behaviour in many models of health behaviour. However, there is a less-than-perfect relationship between people’s intention and their behaviour – the “intention-behaviour gap”. Read more
Improving indoor air quality through behaviour change
Air pollution is considered to be responsible for more than 28,000 deaths each year in the UK alone, and long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular and respiratory illness, birth-defects and neuro-degenerative disorders (Laverge et al., 2015). Read more
Understanding and intervening in young driver road safety
Newly-qualified drivers are the most likely drivers on the road to be involved in crashes. This is likely to reflect a combination of insufficient driving skill and deliberately choosing a risky driving style (e.g., speeding, dangerous overtaking). Read more
Improving road safety in low- and middle- income countries
Ninety percent of the globe’s road traffic fatalities are located in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs) but the majority of research available to date addresses driver behaviour in high income countries. Read more
The role of sex hormones and brain activity in risk-taking and antisocial behaviour in adolescence
While there are a number of reasons to hypothesise that circulating testosterone performs an important role in many risky behaviours, the findings of empirical studies remain unclear. Read more
Understanding the societal barriers experienced by autistic adults
Research demonstrates that the mental and physical health of autistic adults is significantly poorer. than for non-autistic adults (Bishop-Fitzpatrick & Rubenstein, 2019; Cage, 2018). Read more
Neuronal coupling across spatiotemporal scales and dimensions of cortical population activity
The human cortex is the most complex known system. It is responsible for a vast range of sensorimotor, decision making, and other cognitive abilities of humans and other mammals. Read more
Psychedelic drugs and serotonergic modulation of functional connectivity in cortical microcircuits
Psychoactive drugs result in profound alterations of our state of consciousness. Well known examples of such drugs are general anaesthetics, in use since mid-19th century, and psychedelics, which are consumed from times immemorial. Read more
Heterogeneity in the development of antisocial behaviour
Antisocial behaviour is a very wide-ranging term including fighting, stealing, and temper tantrums among many other things. It may not make sense to consider these behaviours as a single construct but to identify meaningful subsets that may have different causes, outcomes and respond well to different treatments.

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