Investigation into the antiepileptic efficacy and mechanism of combination vitamin D and Ganoderma Lucidum polysaccharides

Epilepsy, caused by abnormal firing of neurons in the brain, affects 50 million people globally [1]. Almost one-third of epileptic patients do not respond well to antiepileptic drugs, and their side effects are associated with cognitive impairment, psychiatric problems, and recurrent epileptic adverse reactions [2, 3].

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? After more than 20 years of intensive research efforts, this question is still highly controversial, with prior studies and meta-analyses yielding inconsistent results. Read more

Understanding the role of pigmentation in retinal and vision development

Establishing structure-function correlations in vision development  . The aim of this project is to develop methods to study the relationship between pigmentation and vision development in humans and zebrafish.  . Read more

EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) scholarship - Can MIND networks derived from brain MRI shed fresh light on perinatal development?

Brain connectivity is central to neurodevelopment and later cognition and mental health (Morgan et al., BP:CNNI 2018). We recently proposed a new method to construct structural brain networks from MRI data, called Morphometric Inverse Divergence (MIND). Read more

Emotional response to immersive audio in live music performance

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
This project is a collaboration between University of York and L-Acoustics as part of CoStar LiveLab. It will address the challenges of understanding the impact of different listening environments, contexts and technical setups and sound formats on listeners. Read more

Short and long-term genetic and behavioural consequences of traumatic brain injury in fruit flies

General background . How many fingers am I holding up? What day of the week is it? Follow my finger? These three questions are designed to test your sensory, memory and motor neural abilities following an accident; all three systems are affected by a severe deceleration of your brain. Read more

(MRC DTP CASE) Understanding how tumour associated macrophages control the tumour immune landscape in NF2-Schwannomatosis

Type 2 Neurofibromatosis (NF2), now referred to as NF2-Schwannomatosis (or NF2-SWN), is a rare autosomal dominant tumour pre-disposition syndrome characterised by growth of typically benign tumours throughout the nervous system. Read more

Dissecting behaviourally relevant feedback microcircuits in the brain

Interactions between distinct neural circuits in the brain help in sensory-guided perceptual decisions. We have recently reported that task/context-switching behaviour is dependent upon specific populations of neurons in the frontal cortex which encode and convey rule-related information (Banerjee et al. Read more

3D printing spinal cords

Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to use hydrogels and 3D printing to engineer a segment of the spinal cord, which could be further developed into a transplant for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read more
