The Palix Foundation has pledged £265,250 to support a cross-disciplinary project aimed at sharing scientific knowledge about early brain development and its effect on mental health and addiction. The project will be delivered by the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Experimental Psychology, and will unite Oxford and the foundation's shared vision of improving outcomes for children, their families and future generations.

OXITED - Oxford Improving Treatment for Emotional Disorders
Our work combines cognitive neuroscience, applied clinical psychology and pharmacology to investigate the basic mechanisms of CBT and psychopharmacological treatments to find out what exactly it is that makes patients get better.

The Translational Neurostimulation Lab (TNSL team) work on understanding neurocognitive mechanisms of brain plasticity in health and neurological/psychiatric disorders. Recent work is focused on advancing non-invasive brain stimulation as a treatment for depression. Using an experimental medicine/cognitive neuroscience approach, we ask mechanistic questions aimed at understanding: How does stimulation work? Who does it work for? How can we make it work better?
Computational Psychiatry
Using computer models of behaviour, we aim to better understand anxiety and depression, and to guide the development of novel treatments.

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.
