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 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 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...
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 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...
Dr Zhi-Yong Li
Biomechanics of plaque rupture
Image-based computaional simulation
modelling of aneurysm growth and rupture
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 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 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...
