Heart and Brain Ageing Group
Nearly a third of dementia cases can be prevented by modifying our lifestyle, in particular our cardiovascular health. While we know that “what’s good for the heart is good for the brain”, we still don’t entirely know why. Our group investigates this heart-brain link in detail, by studying how the health of our heart and large blood vessels affect the brain and memory as we grow older.
Translational NeuroStimulation Laboratory
We aim to understand processes of selective attention and action, learning and memory in the human brain. Through experiments in healthy volunteers and patients with brain disorders we seek to characterize how information processing networks respond (adaptively or maladaptively) when challenged by interference. Our motivation is to develop rational neurocognitive intervention strategies to help promote recovery from conditions such as depression and brain injury.
Translational Neurobiology of Psychosis
We are interested in the molecular and neural basis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and how the risk genes for these disorders operate. We use a range of platforms, methods, and collaborations, to carry out this work.
Anaesthesia Neuroimaging Group
Our group uses multimodal neuroimaging to understand the changes in the brain under anaesthesia and during altered states of consciousness. We aim to translate these findings to the clinical environment to improve patient treatment and outcomes.
Oxford Subarachnoid Haemorrhage Research Group
Our group aims to achieve a better understanding of what happens in the brains of patients who have just had a subarachnoid haemorrhage, which is a type of stroke.
Epilepsy Imaging Research Group
Combining state-of-the-art brain imaging methods, we aim to understand how functional networks in the brain respond and adapt to epilepsy and epilepsy-associated lesions.
Cognitive Neurology Research Group
We want to understand how - and why - brain function can be disturbed to lead to poor memory and loss of motivation (apathy). Our aim is to develop new treatments for these conditions across a range of neurological disorders.
