Oxford-led cross-divisional collaboration wins the prestigious Cozzarelli Prize

A collaborative study between the Medical Sciences Division and the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division at the University of Oxford has been awarded the 2024 PNAS Cozzarelli Prize in Biomedical Science.

Sleep, dance and rhythms of life

To mark International Dance Day on 29 April, Akanksha Bafna talks about her latest paper and shares how she combines her research into sleep and circadian rhythms with her personal passion for music and dance to help her understand the importance of rhythm in our daily lives.

Anticholinergic medications given to people with psychosis could worsen memory

Medications routinely given to people experiencing psychosis could be worsening some of their cognitive function, including memory and concentration, according to a new analysis of existing research.

New study reveals genetic effects on cognitive health are age and sex specific

A recent study from a team at University of Oxford aimed to reveal the specific roles played by APOE and Klotho genes in brain health and function, and how this varies according to age and sex.

Our Brains, Our Selves

Professor Masud Husain has published a new book on what he has learned from his patients

Morton's neuroma paper selected as Editors’ choice in PAIN

The latest study from the Neuromusculoskeletal Health and Science Lab, featured in PAIN, shows how neuroinflammation continues to play a role in chronic neuropathic pain.

Wearable devices can help predict falls in Parkinson’s Disease over five years

A new study from the NeuroMetrology lab demonstrates how clinicians could make data-backed predictions of falls in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) to help improve effective longer term care planning.

Brain acts like music box playing different behaviours

Neuroscientists reveal how cells form a coordinate system for behavioural sequences

Study finds important link between genetic markers and neuropathic pain

European researchers have mapped the most comprehensive phenotyping of neuropathic pain and identified genetic markers associated with this serious condition. The new findings could be especially important for diabetes patients.

Adventures of the Brain with Associate Professor Sanjay Manohar

Sanjay Manohar answers our burning questions about why he pursued neuroscience, his new book, and why it’s important to teach children about the brain.

New study discovers that robust memory of a previous event prevents new flexible memories from being formed

Researchers at the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit have discovered a new neuronal mechanism in the hippocampus, that prevents new ‘flexible’ memories from being formed due to a past ‘robust’ memory.

Study outlines feasibility of multiple disease risk prediction model for primary care

A team of researchers led by a researcher in RDM, but which also includes researchers in NDCN, Population Health and Experimental Psychology, have found that a single, integrated health check carried out in a primary care setting can accurately predict risks for diseases across multiple organs.

Risk factors for faster aging in the brain revealed in new study

Researchers from the NDCN have used data from UK Biobank participants to reveal that diabetes, traffic-related air pollution and alcohol intake are the most harmful out of 15 modifiable risk factors for dementia.

New research shows that online testing is effective in detecting cognitive impairments in complex neurological diseases

The Cognitive Neurology Research Group at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences has shown that remote digital cognitive testing can detect subtle cognitive impairments in chronic autoimmune limbic encephalitis (ALE) patients.

Oxford Epilepsy Research Group Papers Highlighted

Two papers by early career researchers in our Oxford Epilepsy Research Group have been highlighted recently.

Highly Cited Researchers

Eight NDCN academics have been named in the 2019 list from Web of Science

Advances made in understanding how eye movements are affected by medication in Parkinson's

Our Neurometrology Group has published findings from its OxQUIP study looking at how eye movements are affected by medication in Parkinson's.

Researchers develop a stem cell-based model of mitochondrial disease

Spot the difference

Remember trying to spot the subtle differences between pictures as a child? It kept us quiet for hours! Neuroscientists including Chrystalina Antoniades have been working with staff at Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum on some interesting ‘spot the difference’ experiments, to try and find out more about how we perceive things.

Initial results from world’s biggest body scanning project

Data from the first 5,000 UK Biobank participants taking part in the world’s largest health imaging study has been released for health researchers worldwide to use in their own research.
