We are a translational neurobiology research group that studies the neural circuitry underlying memory, navigation and decision-making in health and disease. We are based in Scotland, at the University of Glasgow, and work with colleagues across the world.
Our group uses a variety of animal models of disease, with projects spanning dementia, genetic risk of schizophrenia and anhedonic depression. The conditions all affect the same underlying brain circuits, including prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and midline thalamus. By understanding how different conditions differentially alter network celullar and synaptic connectiviy in particular brain regions, we hope also to gain insights into how these regions interact in the healthy brain.
We work very closely with immunologist colleagues, with neuroinflammation and neuron-glia-immune interactions driving a large part of our research programme.
