Neuroscience

It is becoming increasingly important to understand healthy brain function and the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers at the School of Life Sciences are looking to improve our understanding of how neural networks are developed, chemical signalling within the brain, the effects of metabolic stress and prion proteins. They are also developing technologies to help neuroscience research.
