Course summary

With this course, you'll explore how the mind, brain and body work together. We conduct studies of normal and abnormal development. We also explore the plasticity of the motor system. This involves both clinical and preclinical developments. We run functional studies and computer modelling of motor system activity. We explore this throughout the neuraxis. We research the development and assessment of novel therapies for motor disorders/lesions. This includes stem cell and brain-machine interface. We research novel neuro-technological approaches to retinal dystrophy repair. This includes brain-machine interface and stem cells. We use in vitro approaches to look at retinal development and visual system wiring. We conduct experimental and theoretical studies. This is to understand how neurones throughout the brain interact. We explore how they act in localised networks to compute complex tasks. Our research groups take evolutionary and comparative approaches to study brain behaviour. We compare brain function and behaviour. We explore this in:insectsbirdsmammalsWe study the ecological and evolutionary functions of their behaviour. Much of our work is at the forefront of:neuroethologybehavioural ecologycomparative cognitionIt has important implications for the study and practice of animal welfare.
