Vision Group
FMRIB NDCN
We use brain imaging techniques to investigate the human visual system, both in its normal state and in disease and disorder.
Translational Image Analysis Group
FMRIB
Our work focuses on translating imaging analysis methods to better understand processes such as brain maturation and ageing, and with a particular emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, ALS) and Big Data (UK Biobank, Lifespan HCP).
Critical Care Research Group
NDA NDCN
The Critical Care Research Group undertakes a programme of research which focuses on the identification of early patient deterioration and long-term clinical outcomes of patients who have been admitted to an Intensive Care Unit.
Cognitive Neurology Research Group
DCN
We want to understand how - and why - brain function can be disturbed to lead to poor memory and loss of motivation (apathy). Our aim is to develop new treatments for these conditions across a range of neurological disorders.
Neural Injury Group
DCN
Our aim is to gain a better understanding of the response of the peripheral nervous system to injury in order to develop strategies to promote peripheral nerve repair and to prevent the development of neuropathic pain. To do this we employ a variety of multi-disciplinary techniques ranging from transgenic models to human psychophysical studies and genetics.
Epilepsy Imaging Research Group
FMRIB
Combining state-of-the-art brain imaging methods, we aim to understand how functional networks in the brain respond and adapt to epilepsy and epilepsy-associated lesions.
Functional MRI Modelling
FMRIB
Clinical Ophthalmology Research Group
NLO
The Clinical Ophthalmology Research Group is led by Professor Robert MacLaren. Over the last decade, Professor MacLaren has been at the forefront of translational medical research into novel clinical treatments for incurable retinal diseases, and is regarded internationally as a leader in the fields of retinal gene therapy, electronic retinas and ocular robotic surgery.
Retinal Neurobiology and Optogenetics Group
NLO
Our research focuses on light dependent signalling in the retina and brain, including visual and non-visual light detection. We are also examining novel opsin photopigments and exploring their applications to optogenetics.
Inherited Retinal Degeneration and Gene Identification
NLO
Our work involves the identification and characterisation of genes that play a role in the development, maintenance and function of the retina and includes both visual and non-image forming tasks.
Circadian and Visual Neuroscience (Foster)
NLO
Our research interests range across the neurosciences but with specific interests in circadian, visual and behavioural neuroscience.
Circadian and Visual Neuroscience (Peirson)
NLO
Our research focuses on the non-image forming function of the eye, including how the light environment regulates sleep and circadian rhythms and how these responses are affected in disease.
Retinal Cell Biology and Degeneration
NLO
The discovery of a novel inner retinal photoreceptor cell, driving non-visual functions, has had a significant impact on the retinal neuroscience field. My research focuses on understanding the physiology and function of these photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.
Ultra High-Field MRI Physics
FMRIB
We develop techniques and hardware on the Centre’s 7 Tesla MRI scanner to offer neuroscientists exciting new possibilities to image the structure, function and biochemistry of the human brain.
Oxford Respiratory Group
NDA
The Oxford Respiratory Group works collaboratively on a range of projects dedicated to Respiratory Control. Professor Pandit's group studies anaesthetic effects on oxygen sensing and also focusses on clinical research related to effects of anaesthetics on respiration and anaesthetic techniques on the lungs and airway.
Oxford Motor Neuron Disease Centre
DCN FMRIB NDCN
Diagnostic and Advisory Service for Neuromyelitis Optica
DCN
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is a rare disease causing inflammation in the spinal cord and optic nerves. The NMO service brings together expertise in diagnostics and clinical management to improve outcomes for this often isolated group of patients.
WIN Neuroplastics Network
FMRIB NDCN
Neuroplastics is a collaborative network of three research groups at WIN with a shared interest in brain plasticity. We study how the brain changes when we learn, as we get older, or when we recover from damage such as stroke. We use brain imaging to monitor brain change and we aim to develop new approaches to facilitate learning, recovery and healthy ageing.
Plasticity Group
FMRIB NDCN
We study how the brain changes when we learn, as we get older, or when we recover damage such as stroke. We use brain imaging to monitor brain change and we aim to develop new approaches to facilitate learning, recovery and healthy brain development and ageing.
