Dr Dawn Eagle How does the brain control impulsive and compulsive actions and stop inappropriate or unwanted behaviour? This question is relevant to many illnesses where brain function is altered (e.g,. ADHD, Parkinson's disease, OCD, schizophrenia, compulsive...
Dr Steve Edgley I’m interested in how movements are controlled. Our everyday movements are performed with little conscious thought and are remarkably precise. Despite what the textbooks tell you, the way in which this is accomplished is poorly understood. I work ...
Dr Ellie Edlmann Investigating the pathophysiology of chronic subdural haematoma with biochemical studies and imaging studies. I am also the co-PI for a multi-centre randomised control trial looking at dexamethasone in chronic subdural haematoma (Dex-CSDH)
Miss Amelia Edmondson-Stait The mushroom body (MB) is the principal site of associative learning in insects. MB output neurons (MBONs) divide it into 15 compartments and together form a complex, multi-layered network whose combined activity represents valence and motivationa...
Professor Mike Edwardson My research involves imaging of biomolecules using atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM permits the visualization of single molecules under near-physiological conditions. Current projects include studies of:
1. The subunit arrangement in ionotropic...
Dr Stephen Eglen I use computational tools to help investigate mechanisms of neural development.
In particular, I study the formation of retinotopic maps and retinal mosaics in vertebrate visual systems. In addition, I am interested in the analysis of large-scale...
Mr MOHAMADY EL-GABY Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is the most prominent cellular model for mediating network changes involved in memory storage. Our lab has recently made use of optogenetic approaches to demonstrate that Schaffer collateral in...
Handan Elaman The aim of my research is to further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying age-related axon loss using models of accelerated ageing.
Megan Eldred I'm studying the development of the retina, particularly, how the different subsets of retinal neurons organise at the tissue level in early development. I am using the Zebrafish as a model organism, and am currently using a combination of transge...
Dr Michelle Ellefson Dr. Ellefson is a Reader in Cognitive Science with the Faculty of Education. Her work integrates cognition, neuroscience, child development, and education into a multi-disciplinary research programme aimed at improving maths and science education....
Dr Yaara Erez My work combines a variety of techniques from cognitive and system neuroscience to study the neural mechanisms of information processing and cognitive control. I am interested in multiple aspects that modulate the way we process information such a...
Dr Karen Ersche My research focuses on the neuropsychological correlates and neurochemical processes underlying addictive behaviour and the translation of this knowledge into therapeutic interventions. This work involves a combination of approaches including neur...
Dr Sharon Erzinçlioğlu I am an Investigator Scientist at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. My current project involves recruiting patients who have acquired a non-traumatic brain injury, through e.g. stroke or tumour resection, to the Cambridge Clinical Neuroscienc...
Dr Alessandro Esposito My goal is to understand how cellular biochemistry encodes decision-making processes, particularly those processes that lead to cancer when misregulated. However, the lack of technologies that permit mapping a multitude of biochemical reactions in...
Dr Richard Eva Investigating the neuron-intrinsic mechanisms regulating axon regeneration in the central nervous system, in order to develop treatments for repairing damage caused by disease or injury. As CNS neurons develop, they lose their intrinsic capacity f...
Dr Mark Evans My group are interested in (1) how brain detects changes in blood glucose and how this glucose-sensing interacts with peripheral metabolism; (2) how defences against hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) may become abnormal in diabetes; (3) the short an...
Dr Nicholas Evans I am a Specialist Registrar in Stroke Medicine with a research interest in atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation. My current research uses Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to measure inflammation within t...
Professor Barry Everitt Sc.D., F.R.S., F.Med.Sci. My research is concerned with the neural and psychological mechanisms underlying learning, memory, motivation and reward especially related to drug addiction. A major research theme is the impact of learning on drug addiction - both its developmen...
Mr Alejandro Ezquerro-Nassar How do we know what is real? From hallucinations to false memories, our brains can fool us into perceiving things that are not "out there" in the world. I am interested in the processes that give rise to these perceptual and cognitive distortions ...
