Wearable sensors provide early detection of progression in Parkinson’s Disease
Clinical Neurology Research
9 October 2023
A team of researchers from the University of Oxford has shown for the first time that it is possible to track the progression of Parkinson’s Disease accurately using specially trained machine learning algorithms to analyse data derived from sensor devices worn by patients.
Gene therapy opens new possibilities for treating chronic pain
Clinical Neurology Research
5 October 2023
Our researchers have shown the potential of a new gene therapy approach to silence human sensory neurons as a means of treating persistent pain. Many current drugs for chronic pain are highly addictive, which makes it important to discover new alternatives.

New study shows clinical symptoms for Alzheimer’s can be predicted in preclinical models
Clinical Neurology Research
10 November 2022
Establishing preclinical models of Alzheimer’s that reflect in-life clinical symptoms of each individual is a critically important goal, yet so far it has not been fully realised. A new collaborative study from the University of Oxford has demonstrated that clinical vulnerability to an abnormally abundant protein in Alzheimer’s brain is in fact reflected in individual patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons.
New insights gained into how the brain encodes information about the world
Clinical Neurology Research
27 September 2022
Scientists have developed a new way to test the theory that active neurons can change what they signal in the world, rather than keeping a stable correspondence to things (such as a features of an object, or ideas).
