Miss Josefine Eck I am currently an MPhil student at the University of Cambridge studying basic and translational neuroscience. I am intrigued by the complexity of neurological dysfunctions and the consequences when individuals lose certain parts of the brain. I am...
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 ...
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. I am currently studying the effects of activation on the behaviour of ionotrop...
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...
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.
Professor Michelle Ellefson Michelle Ellefson is a Professor of Cognitive Science in 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 educ...
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 Claire Eschbach In insect, the mushroom body (MB) is a brain region where memory traces are formed. Recently, EM-based reconstruction of all the input and output neurons of this structure unravelled both the highly recurrent innervation of the MB and its connecti...
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 Repair and protection of the injured or diseased central nervous system. My research focuses on the subcellular signalling and trafficking mechanisms that control axon regeneration and neuroprotection in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. Thi...
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 ...
