Our research focuses on the fundamentals of neurobiology and how they relate to behaviour. Key themes of our research are: neuronal structure and development; neuropathology and glial cell biology; neurophysiological and functional imaging measurements of the human brain; biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioural aspects of learning, memory and attention; and genetic, biological and cognitive underpinnings of disorders across the lifespan, including autism, dementia, Huntington's disease, and ADHD.Potential research projects An online study of repetitive activities and circumscribed interests in autismCurrent / recent research projects Investigating Sensory and Motor Deficits in ADHD Neurofeedback for the Treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Cognitive deficits in Huntingdon disease Exploring the Broader Autism Phenotype in Simplex Versus Multiplex Autism Families

There is significant interaction between systems, cellular and molecular neuroscientists in the Faculty of Life Sciences to deliver a wide range of projects focused on research into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of neuronal regulation and neurodegeneration in the CNS and PNS. A major focus is to understand processes of neurodegeneration in order to uncover aetiology and/or treat the common diseases of the nervous system, for example Alzheimers, Parkinsons disease and stroke.
