Dr Laith Alexander My research focuses on the neurobiology of emotion and emotional regulation. In particular, I am interested in how prefrontal cortical regions (area 25 and 32) subserve the regulation of emotional states. Using sophisticated techniques in behaviou...
Professor Michael Anderson Dr. Anderson focuses on fundamental mechanisms of memory, attention, and cognitive control, and their interaction. A central observation is that memory, like other aspects of cognition and behaviour, poses problems of control. Dr. Anderson uses ...
Dr Faye Begeti Problems in cognition are a part of Huntington’s disease (HD) and have a significant impact on quality of life. My main research interest is to investigate the cognitive aspects of HD with the aim of translating animal research into the clinic in...
Dr Riccardo Beltramo We aim to understand how the brain transforms sensory signals into the neural representations of the outside world that guide our behaviour.
Our lab uses the mouse visual system as a model and studies the contribution of parallel visual pathways ...
Dr Dennis Chan My research focuses on detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before symptom onset, and on determining the biological basis of cognitive reserve (CR).
AD work centres on detecting alterations in the functions of the entorhinal cortex (EC) and hippo...
Dr Elisa Cooper My research focuses on human episodic memory. I'm also interested in the preserved abilities of individuals with focal brain injury, such as hippocampal injury, and investigating whether or not there is evidence of fast cortical learning in adult...
Professor Joe Herbert I am interested in the role of the brain in adaptive responses, with particular reference to the reciprocal interaction between hormones and the brain. My experimental work is focussed on the way that neural factors, such as serotonin and glucocor...
Professor 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...
Claudia Pama Currently I am based at the Wellcome Trust – Medical Research Council Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in the lab of Dr Karadottir, investigating the pattern of developmental cortical myelination as well as the function of myelin in learning - under...
Professor Ole Paulsen The primary interest of my group is the relationship between network oscillations and synaptic plasticity. Network oscillations naturally organise spike timing conducive to spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a strong candidate for a mechani...
Yoshiro Shiba Anxiety and fear are adaptive responses against a potential/imminent threat. These consist of changes in physiological (heart rate, blood pressure, endocrine responses etc.), cognitive (attention, vigilance etc.) and behavioural (flight, freeze, f...
