Craig Burns Memory reconsolidation and destabilisation in maladaptive disorders such as addiction
Dr Mark Burrell My work seeks to understand what work is worth the work - specifically the biological basis for the reward-effort trade-off in decision-making . I study this on a behavioural level, using economic paradigms, and relate this to individual dopamine ...
Dr Emma Cahill My immediate objective is to develop my research in neuronal signalling complexes and apply what I find to unanswered fundamental questions related to memory and adaptive behaviour. In my research, I address the signalling requirements of memories...
Dr Hannah Clarke Understanding the neural and neurochemical basis of behaviours mediated by the prefrontal cortex and their relevance to psychiatric disorders.
Professor Jeff Dalley Primary research interests include behavioural and cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology and neuromodulation of limbic cortico-striatal brain circuitry. Specific interests include behavioural and neurobiological endophenotypes and their trans...
Dr Natalia del Campo My research focuses on the optimisation and application of multi-modal neuroimaging techniques to identify the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric conditions and associated cognitive deficits. One aspect I am particularly interested ...
Dr Elisa Galliano The ability of nerve cells to plastically modify themselves is one of the characteristics that make the brain millions of times more powerful and capable of learning than any supercomputer. I am particularly interested in the ways in which, during...
Dr Daniel Hill I am interested in the neurophysiology of reward valuation and decision making in the context of learning and memory. My current work is focused on better understanding how dopamine neurons encode value and economic utility. Though their role is w...
Dr Nicole Horst I am interested in investigating the role of cortico-striatal circuits in flexible behaviour in order to understand how disruption of these circuits and their modulation by various neurotransmitters may underpin the inflexible behaviours observed ...
Ms Li Huang I am researching the ways in which dopaminergic neurons change their form (morphology) and function (firing properties) in order to adapt to the ever-changing environment using the rodent olfactory bulb as my model system. I will be primarily empl...
Dr Susan Jones The primary focus of our research is the function of AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors at excitatory synapses in the brain. We study the properties of glutamate receptors, glutamatergic synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity. We are intere...
Dr Fabricio Moreira -Pharmacology of the Endocannabinoid System
-Pharmacology of Antipsychotics
Dr Graham Murray I work on the causes, brain mechanisms and treatments of mental disorder. I utilize a variety of neuroscience techniques, including statistical genomics, brain imaging, computational psychiatry, pharmacological and neuropsychological studies in pa...
Dr Jennifer Murray My research primarily involves mapping the striatal circuitry responsible for the transition from goal-directed to habitual drug seeking.
Naomi Penfold I am a PhD student on the Wellcome Trust programme in Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease. I work at the Institute of Metabolic Science in the lab of Professor Sue Ozanne. We are interested in how the early life environment (pre- and postnatal) c...
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 FMedSci 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...
JĂșlia Sala-Bayo I am interested in the neural mechanisms that underlie executive functions and cognitive control.
The main aim of my research is to gain understanding of the neural circuit involved in cognitive flexibility. Specifically, how dopamine in stratal...
Dr William Stauffer I am interested in the neuronal computations and value representations underlying economic choice. Dopamine neurons encode reward prediction errors. My current research investigates how this well known teaching signal supports decision making.
