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
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
Using pharmacological agents to investigate the mechanisms of the neuronal vascular coupling
The changes in cerebral blood flow, volume and oxygenation that accompany increases in neural activity form the basis of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which allow human brain mapping. Read more
Understanding the neural basis of ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, however the neural changes that underlie the disorder are poorly understood. Read more
Understanding the mechanisms underlying cognitive training effects
Can the repetitive practice of cognitive tasks – as in ’brain training’ programs – effectively enhance cognitive abilities such as reasoning? Even after more than a decade of intensive research efforts, this question is still highly controversial, with prior studies and meta-analyses yielding inconsistent results. Read more
Understanding neurovascular coupling and its importance in the interpretation of modern neuroimaging techniques
During the past two decades, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the scientific technique of choice for investigating human brain function in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Read more
Understanding and measuring individual differences in attentional control
Attentional control – the ability to monitor and control ongoing thoughts and actions – is thought to account for a substantial amount of individual differences in working memory capacity and fluid intelligence (e.g., Kane & Engle, 2003). Read more
The neurophysiological basis of spontaneous fluctuations in neuroimaging signals
A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. Read more
The breakdown of neurovascular coupling in the diseased state specifically Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease
Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in the UK, affecting 1 – 2 % of the population. Epilepsies often involve only a small area of the brain - the epileptic focus – and the abnormal activity can propagate out from there. Read more
Simultaneous measures of brain and blood oxygenation: Revealing the function behind ‘functional’ brain mapping signals
A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. Read more
Sensory processing in Autism Spectrum Conditions and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are prevalent. neurodevelopmental conditions. Read more
Online discussion; augmenting argumentation with chatbots
Argumentation - the systematic exchange of reasoning supporting or undermining an idea - enhances communication between individuals. Read more
Neurotransmitters, brain blood flow and functional brain imaging signals.r
The function of modulatory neurotransmitter systems such as serotonin, dopamine or acetylcholine are implicated in a wide range of brain diseases and are targeted by a wide range of therapeutic drugs. 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
