I provide data support and assist the team involved with studies of cognitive ageing - the MRC Cognitive Function and Ageing Study (UK centres and Wales), along with the Cam-CAN project (Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience).
Dr Sofia Papadia
I am interested in the neuronal control of obesity, investigating the molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways by which genes in the brain are regulating energy homeostasis. I am a member of Prof. I.S. Farooqi's team.
Dr David Parker
My lab examines how interactions in neuronal networks generate behaviourally relevant network outputs, using the lamprey spinal cord locomotor network as a model system. We combine electrophysiological, computational, molecular, and anatomical app...- Dr Rickie Patani
The focus of my research is neural lineage restriction from human pluripotent stem cells and the subsequent regional fate specification of derived neural precursors. One key area of study is to investigate temporal responsiveness of human neural p... 
Dr Karalyn Patterson
I study language and memory in adults, mainly from the perspective of the patterns of disruption to these cognitive functions that occur as a result of brain damage or disease. Linking both the location of structural/functional lesions in the pati...
Dr Roy Patterson
We have developed a computational model of the auditory signal processing that transforms a sound wave into the auditory image you hear in response to that sound wave. We investigate how the cochlea and neural centres in the auditory pathway proce...- Dr Andrew Patton
Study of circadian rhythms in the mammalian SCN using genetic and electrophysiological approaches. 
Professor Ole Paulsen
The primary interest of my group is the relationship between network oscillations and synaptic plasticity. Network oscillations naturally organise spike timing conducive to spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a strong candidate for a mechani...
Dr Laura Pearce
I am interested in the signalling pathways that operate in the brain to control energy homeostasis and how these are disrupted in metabolic disease. In particular my work focuses on the characterisation of novel genetic mutations associated with o...
Dr Ben Pearson
Saccadometry is the measurement and analysis of saccadic eye movements as a means of assessing brain function. We are using a portable, non-invasive device (the saccadometer) to measure the latency of saccadic eye movements. Previous work has demo...
Professor Roger Pedersen
Our principal objective is to define the molecular and genetic basis for the maintenance of the pluripotent status of human embryonic stem cells, and similarly, the basis for their differentiation into the primary body lineages: mesoderm, endoderm...
Dr Polly Peers
My main interests are in attention, emotion processing and the relationship between the two. I use cognitive task manipulations in healthy individuals and patients to examine attentional processes, and having more recently been examining the effe...- Miss Moos Peeters MSc
I am interested in the (emotional) functioning of patients with disorders of consciousness, especially patients in the vegetative and minimally consciousness state. I use EMG, EEG and fMRI in my research 
Dr Alonso Pena
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that enables the measurement of the restricted diffusion of water in living tissue. Its principal application has been in the imaging of white matter in the human brain...
Dr Joao Pereira
Spatial statistics and morphometry analyses of Magnetic Resonance brain images. Current main focus is on enhancements and extensions to the standard Voxel Based Morphometry (VBM) method, mostly through the improvement of the registration step and ...
Dr Nicholas Perentos
Neurodegenerative diseases can have profound impact on the brain's networks well before cell loss. Understanding how these changes give rise to cognitive impairment at early stages of a disease may lead to novel therapeutic approaches. In Prof Mor...
Dr Jesus Perez
My research activity is mainly focused on early detection and intervention in psychosis and the history of psychiatry. I am particularly interested in the epidemiological apects of young people at high-risk of developing psychosis and with first-e...
Omar David Perez
I'm a PhD student working in Associative Learning models in Decision-Making.
Dr Jean-Pascal Pfister
My research is mainly focused on learning and memory. Trained as a physicist, I am interested in developing analytical models of synaptic plasticity with a stronger focus on a specific form of plasticity called Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (S...
Miss Holly Phillips
I am interested in the application of multivariate and machine learning methods to the analysis of neuroimaging data. I have a background of applying these methods to fMRI data in the classification of pain states, but here as a part of my PhD I w...
Dr Anna Philpott
Mechanisms that link the cell cycle and differentiation are poorly understood and still less is known about how developmental cues are linked to cell cycle exit. Our laboratory is interested in understanding the coordination of cell proliferation ...- Dr Chia-Ling Phuah
Mechanism of autoimmunity post Campath-1H treatment in Multiple Sclerosis 
Dr Sara G.M. Piccirillo
Although brain tumors account for less than 2% of all primary tumors they are responsible for 7% of the years of life lost from cancer. The commonest class of brain tumors in adults are astrocytomas and the commonest astrocytoma is the highly mali...
Professor John Pickard
Advancing the care of patients with acute brain injury (trauma, haemorrhage and hydrocephalus) from initial ictus, neurointensive care, recovery from coma and rehabilitation to final outcome through the study of pathophysiology (multimodality beds...- Miss Sandra Pietsch
I recently joined Professor Morton's research group. Research in the lab aims to understand the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and abnormal behaviour in Huntington's disease (HD). I'm focusing on the role of synaptic modulators (specifica... 
Hannah Pincham
I am investigating the neural basis of the attentional blink - a deficit in processing the second of two rapidly presented targets. I am interested in the factors influencing the magnitude and likelihood of the deficit (for example, timing effects...
Dr Scarlett Pinnock
The rate of neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the adult hippocampus is highly labile. Much of this lability is due to the exquisite sensitivity of the progenitor cells to glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids have two principal roles: absolute level...
Dr Ofelia Pinto de Carvalho
We identify novel genes involved in either Primary Microcephaly or in Pain sensing disfunctions in human patients.- Dr Valentino A. Pironti
I am a BPS Chartered Psychologist and HCPC registered clinical psychologist working with adult patients with ADHD in the Adult ADHD Research Clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder with symptoms of inattention, impu... 
Dr Kate Plaisted-Grant
My research interest in autism was sparked by the fascinating cognitive strengths shown by many individuals with autism. These include exceptional abilities to process fine details, better discrimination abilities compared to typical individuals a...
Dr Stefano Pluchino
Recent evidence from our own laboratory indicates that the systemic injection of somatic neural stem/precursor cells (NPCs) very efficiently protect the CNS from the chronic degeneration induced by inflammation both in small rodents as well as in ...- Alexa Pohl
