Dr Leon Lagnado
We are investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating synaptic transmission and the way these determine the processing of information by a neural circuit. The circuit we are concentrating on is the retina and the question that guid...
Dr Meng-Chuan Lai
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, my clinical interests are in autism spectrum conditions (ASC), psychosis risk syndrome, gender issues and sexual identity development. My research focuses on elucidating the heterogeneity of ASC at multiple ...
Dr Sergio Lainez Vicente
We are interested in the mechanisms by which sensory receptors transduce stimuli into a nervous impulse which can be detected by the central nervous system (CNS) as a sensation. My current area of activity is in nociceptors (pain-sensitive neurons...
Mr Armin Lak
Neural mechanisms of learning, goal-directed behaviour and economic decision making
Dr Andras Lakatos
Andras is interested in the adaptive changes in glia-neuron interactions following remote axonal insults, such as axotomy and demyelination. The particular focus is how endogenous cortical/gray matter astrocytes and stem cells responding to such c...
Dr Brian Lam
I mainly work on genomic data generated from microarray experiments and I am particularly interested in the gene regulatory network of neural plasticity and functions.- Miss Jessica Lam
I am doing my PhD project to understand the mechanism of polyglutamine disease through genetic and biochemical approaches. 
Dr Matthias Landgraf
Development of neural networks - from the morphogenesis of dendritic trees to patterns of connections. As neuronal circuits form, synaptic terminals are delivered to specific regions of the nervous system so that connections can form between appr...
Jennifer Landt
I am currently working on a brain imaging project looking at the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease in adults with Down’s syndrome.
Professor Simon Laughlin
Our group is interested in discovering design principles that govern the structure and function of neurons and neural circuits. We record from well-defined neurons, mainly in flies’ visual systems, to measure the molecular and cellular factors tha...
Dr Alpar Lazar
My main research area is sleep, circadian rhythm and cognition in neurodegenerative diseases. My scope is to investigate the deep structure of sleep EEG activity in relation to circadian rhythm, cognition and metabolism and the way it changes ov...
Dr Nicolas Le Novere
My scientific interests revolve around signal transduction in neurons, ranging from the molecular structure of membrane proteins involved in neurotransmission to modelling signalling pathways. A strong focus is the molecular and cellular basis of ...
Dr Joff Lee
I am interested in the mechanisms of memory formation and persistence at the neural systems and molecular neurobiological level. In particular, a primary focus of research relates to the phenomenon of memory reconsolidation, the process that resta...
Dr Máté Lengyel
I study learning and memory from computational, algorithmic/representational and neurobiological viewpoints. I also maintain an active interest in the possible computational functions of neural oscillations, particularly those present in the hippo...
Dr Belinda Lennox
My interest is in the biological basis of psychosis. I have used fMRI to capture the neural activation associated with auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia, and associated abnormalities in auditory processing. I have undertaken studies to...
Ms Victoria Leong
When infants first learn language, prosodic rhythm ('Strong-weak' syllable patterning) is an important cue used for segmenting speech into words. I work on 'infant-like' analytical models that detect prosodic rhythm using only temporal patterns in...
Dr Louis Leung
I am primarily interested in how guidance cues are able to regulate the migratory behaviour of the growth cone, which directs the navigation of axons during development. In particular, I am looking at how cell adhesion molecules are regulated by ...
Miss Lu Li
Drug induced neuroadaptation, which underlines the long-lasting changes in brains and behaviour, relies not only on chemical adaptations but also on the morphological alterations of neurons and modifications of synaptic connections. The repeated ...
Dr Zhi-Yong Li
Biomechanics of plaque rupture Image-based computaional simulation modelling of aneurysm growth and rupture
Dr Eve Limbrick-Oldfield
I have recently joined the Department of Experimental Psychology to investigate cognitive distortions that may underlie the development of gambling disorders using fMRI.- Ms Winifred Limmer
I am investigating the cognitive deficits associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder on three levels: adult, adolescent, and subclinical. I am particularly interested in the interplay between memory systems and the role of modulators, such as s... 
Mr Gerit Arne Linneweber
Development and physiology of neuronal lineages in Drosophila The autonomic nervous system controls visceral muscle contraction and the metabolism of internal organs. Our lab recently identified a visceral lineage that secretes an insulin-like pe...
Dr Pietro Lio'
I am interested in modeling multiscale phenomena and biological networks dynamics, developing statistical methods for the integration sequence, proteomics and microarray data analysis. I am currently modeling biological processes on networks; mo...
Dr Danuta Lisiecka
I am interested in how MRI techniques can help us understand susceptibility to psychiatric disorders and mechanisms of action of psychiatric treatments. My current research focuses on: A) neural mechanism of action of Minocycline on negative...
Miss Xiuyun Liu
Cerebral auto-regulation testing- Dr Yong Liu
I am interested in understanding human brain network organization and its application from neuroimaging data. Now I am foucing on the network architecture in MCI and AD. 
Dr Rick Livesey
A fundamental question in neural stem cell biology is how distinct classes of neurons are generated at specific places and times in the nervous system in order for them to be incorporated correctly into neuronal circuits. We study this question in...
Dr Darren Logan
Our research interest is in understanding the molecular and genetic basis of olfaction, and how that influences behaviour. Our wider aim is to characterise the neural circuits that instruct stereotyped hard-wired behaviours, and investigate how th...
Dr Michael Lombardo
My research deals with the neural systems of social cognition/behavior and autism spectrum conditions.
Dr Barbara Lorber
My research interests are in identifying mechanisms that underlie neuronal survival & axonal regeneration after CNS injury and disease. I have a particular interest in the role of activated retinal glia which appear to be mediating survival and r...
Dr Leila Luheshi
My research is focused on understanding the origins of protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases and the relationship between protein aggregation and the pathogenesis of these diseases. I aim to achieve this through cross-disciplinary, co...
Dr Sarah Lummis
My lab works on Cys-loop receptors, which are one of the major classes of ligand-gated ion channels. The family includes in its vertebrate members 5-HT3, nACh, GABAA, GABAC, and glycine receptors. Proteins from this family are critical for fast sy...
