Biological role of neuropeptides and their receptors

University of Reading School of Pharmacy

Cell signalling is critical to the co-ordination and functioning of all cells. Cell signalling allows cells to co-ordinate activities within the intracellular environment as well as ensuring cells know how to correctly respond to other cells and to an ever-changing extracellular environment as well.

Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems

University of Reading School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences

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
