Brain Brain function Brain imaging Depression Evidence Based Medicine
Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre aims to create a platform to deliver high quality experimental medicine research on new treatments and procedures to improve lives.
Heart and Brain Ageing Group
Alzheimer's Brain function Brain imaging Cognitive Dementia Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Medical co-morbidity Medicine
Nearly a third of dementia cases can be prevented by modifying our lifestyle, in particular our cardiovascular health. While we know that “what’s good for the heart is good for the brain”, we still don’t entirely know why. Our group investigates this heart-brain link in detail, by studying how the health of our heart and large blood vessels affect the brain and memory as we grow older.
Translational NeuroStimulation Laboratory
Anxiety Behaviour Brain function Brain imaging Cognitive models Decision-making Depression Disorders Evidence based treatment Experimental Functional imaging Information processing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Mood Neuroscience Psychological therapy Psychology Therapy
We aim to understand processes of selective attention and action, learning and memory in the human brain. Through experiments in healthy volunteers and patients with brain disorders we seek to characterize how information processing networks respond (adaptively or maladaptively) when challenged by interference. Our motivation is to develop rational neurocognitive intervention strategies to help promote recovery from conditions such as depression and brain injury.
Computational Psychiatry
Anxiety Behavioural models Brain function Brain imaging Decision-making Depression Neuroscience
Using computer models of behaviour, we aim to better understand anxiety and depression, and to guide the development of novel treatments.
Neural Correlates of Gene Function
Behaviour Brain Brain imaging Cognitive Cognitive models Decision-making Dopamine Functional imaging Genetics Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Mood Neuroimaging Neuroscience Pharmacology Risk factors Schizophrenia Stress
Our research aims to understand how individual genes contribute to the complex brain functions that are impaired in people with psychiatric disorders. By understanding these links we hope to improve treatments for these disorders.
Translational Neuroimaging
Alzheimer's Brain Brain function Brain imaging Clinical trial Cognitive models Cohorts Dementia Empirical Functional imaging Genetics Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Medical imaging Neuroimaging Neurology Neuroscience Parkinson's Risk factors Whitehall Study
Neuroimaging provides a window into the living brain, and is an increasingly vital experimental medicine tool for neuro-psychiatric disease. With a particular focus on early and pre-clinical disease, we explore how the brain changes before symptoms take hold.
Psychopharmacology and Emotion Research Laboratory (PERL)
Anxiety Behaviour Behavioural models Bipolar Brain Brain function Brain imaging Cognitive Cognitive models Depression Experimental Functional imaging Mental illness Neuroimaging Neuroscience Psychology Treatment
We explore how the brain processes emotional information and how this is influenced by brain chemicals and medicines. This helps us to understand disorders such as depression and anxiety and to understand and contribute to the development of drug and psychological treatments.
Clinical Psychopharmacology
Brain imaging Depression Drug treatment Evidence Based Medicine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Mental illness Neuroimaging Pharmacology
Our research aims to understand how psychotropic drugs work at molecular level. By exploring this through clinical research in patients we contribute to the development of new evidence-based pharmacological treatments for severe mental illness.
Neurobiology of Ageing
Alzheimer's Brain imaging Depression Whitehall Study
Why do some people suffer from depression and memory loss as they age, whereas others stay well for the whole of their lives? We examine the effect of genes and life history on ageing using neuropsychology and neuro-imaging techniques as part of large scale epidemiological and experimental medicine studies.
Oxford Brain-Body Research into Eating Disorders
Behavioural models Brain Brain function Brain imaging Clinical psychology Clinical trial Cognitive Cognitive models Dependence Experimental Functional imaging Information processing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) Mindfulness Mood Neuroimaging Neuroscience Nutrition Psychological treatment development and evaluation Psychopathology Research-based Treatment Treatment trials
We work to understand the cognitive, biological, emotional and somatic processes underpinning the severe eating disorder Anorexia Nervosa in particular, and Eating Disorders in general. Our trans-disciplinary research, involving clinicians and neuroscientists, aims to translate research findings into novel treatment strategies.
