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.
Neuroscience, Ethics and Society
Alzheimer's Child development Community Mental Health Services Neuroscience Parenting Prevention Psychosis Schizophrenia
We conduct independent ethics research and we deliver ethical guidance for a range of scientific and clinical studies in the Oxford Department of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. We also work with a variety of international institutions and researchers. Our core research interests involve young people, mental health and neuroscience innovations in a global context.
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.

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 Neuroscience & Dementia Research
Alzheimer's Case registers Clinical trial Dementia Dopamine Neuroscience Parkinson's
The Translational Neuroscience and Dementia Research Group undertake translational research ranging from mechanisms to drug development, and from discovery to qualification of molecular and imaging biomarkers in both Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease and in related dementia disorders. The group, led by Professor Noel Buckley, comprises molecular and cellular biology scientists, computational biologists and informaticians working with molecular, clinical and imaging datasets. We have three main areas of activity, all aiming towards secondary prevention of dementia. By understanding disease mechanisms we seek potential therapeutics; through discovery of biomarkers we hope to enable preventative trials, and with informatics we utilise large biological and clinical datasets in the support of translational neuroscience.

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.

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.
