Dr Claire Quilter
DEFRA funded project to identify the genetic causes of sow aggression towards their offspring. We propose that this is a good animal model for puerperal psychosis, the severe form of human post-natal depression.Transcriptional differences in the h...
Charlotte Rae
In my PhD, supervised by James Rowe, I am investigating the selection and inhibition of voluntary action. The process of initiating voluntary movements, and then stopping or changing your actions, relies on the prefrontal cortex. I use DTI (diff...
Dr Ruma Raha-Chowdhury
I have a passion for Iron. My main interest is investigate role of iron proteins in brain iron homeostasis, neuronal inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently I found a family of inhibitory Guidance molecules regulate by iron and have ...
Dr Taufiq Rahman
My research interests broadly lie in two categories - structure-function studies of intracellular calcium channels and rational design and development of selective modulators of signalling proteins including ion channels
Dr Roma Rambaran
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia to affect the aged. As life expectancy increases so too does the prevalence of the disease. At a cellular level (AD) attacks the connections between nerve cells known as synapses and dis...
Dr Carl Edward Rasmussen
I work on probabilistic inference and machine learning. What are the mathematical foundations of learning from experience in biological systems?
Mr Nikon Rasumov
Signal processing in neurons is constrained by internal noise and energy consumption. Neural systems often invest energy in amplifying signals to protect them against internal noise. There is no general expression for the trade-off between energy ...
Dr Brinda Ravikumar
Clearance of aggregate-prone proteins by Macroautophagy
Dr Lucy Raymond
The group aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying intellectual disability in humans. Our main focus is on families with X linked disease. In collaboration with The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, we are using a new approach to dise...- Dr Mansoor Raza
Growth cone repulsion during development and adult CNS failure to regenerate after injury. The use of viral vectors for transgene expression in the nervous system to promote axonal regeneration. 
Dr Akhilesh Reddy
My group is interested in circadian rhythms, which are daily cycles of physiology and behaviour that persist when organisms are isolated from the outside world. They represent a fundamental biological mechanism, and are present at all levels of li...
Dr Evan Reid
My group's research is focussed on the hereditary spastic paraplegias, genetic conditions where the corticospinal tract axons degenerate. HSPs selectively involve axons while sparing the neuronal cell bodies, so we study them to understand molecul...
Mr Mark Renshaw
When memories are first acquired they remain for a few hours in a 'labile' state, during which they are susceptible to being disrupted by pharmacological and behavioural manipulations. The transition to a 'stable' state, in which these manipulatio...
Dr Hugh Richards
Over 3000 CSF shunt operationions are performed in the UK every year. In order to monitor the implants and surgical practice used, the UK Shunt Registry was set up in 1995 and now contains details on over 43,000 surgical procedures. Managing su...
Dr Howard Ring
My research covers three main areas. My work in epilepsy is largely concerned with studying the management and behavioural correlates of treatment-resistant epilepsy in people with developmental or acquired brain damage. In the field of Autism res...
Dr Jane Risdall
In collaboration with DSTL Porton Down looking at Blast Brain Injury in an animal model. Using a benchtop blast wave generator to expose the cranium to a primary blast wave alone and subsequently look at changes in protein expression and gene acti...- Dr Patrick Riss
My research is focussed on radiochemistry with short lived positron emitting radionuclides. This includes the development of efficient methods for radiolabelling of small molecules as well as the synthesis and validation of radiotracers for Positr... 
Dr Timothy Rittman BMBS BMedSci PgCertMedEd MRCP(London)
I work with patients suffering from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) in collaboration with James Rowe. These are two rare types of dementia with similarities to Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. M...
Professor Trevor Robbins
Research interests span the areas of cognitive neuroscience, behavioural neuroscience and psychopharmacology. Main work focuses on the functions of the frontal lobes of the brain and their connections with other regions. These brain systems are re...
Professor Angela Roberts
I am interested in the brain networks underlying cognitive and emotional behaviour. In particular, my research focuses on the executive control functions of the prefrontal cortex and related brain structures, including the basal ganglia and the am...
Dr Ed Roberts
My research focuses on the mechanisms involved in decision-making. I'm currently examining the effect which different hormones have on financial decisions. I'm also interested in cognitive control, executive function and the relationship between b...
Dr Rhys Roberts
Our group is interested in peripheral nerve diseases, particularly the inherited peripheral neuropathies, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). We have focused on the demyelinating forms of CMT, where defects in intracellular membrane trafficking p...
Caroline Robertson
I use behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques to examine how the autistic brain constructs primary representations of the visual world. I'm particularly interested in the temporal dynamics of vision and my work is h...
Dr Hugh Robinson
We study synaptic integration in mammalian cortical neurons - encoding of synaptic inputs into patterns of action potentials, or spikes. We are currently interested in - development of advanced electrical stimulation techniques (conductan...
Professor Peter Robinson
I am a computer scientist with an interest in neuroscience. My research concerns problems at the boundary between people and computers. This involves investigating new technologies to enhance communication between computers and their users, and...
Dr John Rogers
Approaches to gene therapy to promote axon regeneration. Specifically: expression of enzymes which can destroy axon-inhibitory proteoglycans, and the use of viral vectors which can express them in injured neurons.
Dr Andres Roman-Urrestarazu
My research interests are related to developmental disorders such as Schizophrenia and ADHD. I am interested in the role that the cerebellum might have in expressing cognitive deficits and clinical symptoms, and how this developmental process is l...
Dr Lisa Ronan
My work focuses on structural analysis of the brain, in particular the morphology of the cortex. Most recently I have focused on cortical intrinsic curvature. This type of curvature is mathematically fundamental to a surface and independent of how...
Dr Hywel Room
Cerebellar electrophysiology, mainly focused on the responses of cerebellar and brain stem loci to nociceptive peripheral stimuli and their integration with descending motor information.
Dr James Rowe BA BM BCh PhD
Characterisation and optimisation of prefrontal cortical functions in health and disease. The functions of the prefrontal cortex remain controversial yet they are of great importance to our everyday life, thoughts, actions and self expression. I ...
Mr Dáire Rowlands
I am just starting my PhD working in James Fawcett's lab in the Brain Repair Centre. I will begin my PhD by characterising an aggrecan knock-out mouse in terms of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. Aggrecan is an inhibitory chondroitin s...
Mikail Rubinov
I conceptualize large-scale human brain anatomy and activity as a complex network of brain regions and interregional associations. I use brain-imaging -- such as magnetic-resonance-imaging -- data sets and computer simulations to model healthy and...
Professor David Rubinsztein
The pathogenesis of diseases caused by codon reiteration mutations (like Huntington’s disease and oculopharangeal muscular dystrophy). Description of research: We are studying the pathogenesis of diseases caused by codon reiteration mutations, l...
Ms Amber Ruigrok
My research looks into sexual dimorphism in the human brain and will look into mechanisms behind sexual dimorphism by looking at the effects of (prenatal) hormones on brain structure.
Professor John Rust
The development, evaluation and implementation of psychometric tests and psychometric testing procedures. As Director of The Psychometrics Centre I have been responsible for the UK standardisation of many of the most widely used psychometric tests...
