Translating neuroimaging findings from research into clinical practice (PSYSCAN)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2020,

Abstract 9Neuroimaging (NI) has enormous potential to improve the clinical care of patients with psychiatric disorders, but has yet to deliver. The PSYSCAN project will address this issue directly by developing a NI-based tool that will help clinicians resolve key clinical issues in the management of patients with psychotic disorders. Clinicians will use the tool to assess patients with a standard ...

The Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2019,

Few advances in neuroscience could have as much impact as a precise global description of human brain connectivity and its variability. Understanding this ‘connectome’ in detail will provide insights into fundamental neural processes and intractable neuropsychiatric diseases.The connectome can be studied at millimetre scale in humans by neuroimaging, particularly diffusion and functional connectiv ...

"Population ageing and the transition from infectious to chronic diseases is occurring more rapidly in middle than it did in high income countries. Chronic diseases are already leading causes of death in all regions, but the focus on preventing premature mortality neglects the societal impact of the emerging epidemic on disability/dependence, particularly in older people. The PIs 12 year program o ...

Aggression inflicts a huge personal, psychological and financial burden on affected individuals, their relatives, and society at large. Despite large scientific, preventive, and treatment investments, no decrease in aggressive behavior is seen. This calls for a shift to new approaches. By capitalising on comprehensive longitudinal cohorts, recent advances in genetic, biological, epidemiological, a ...

Multidisciplinary Approaches to Translational Research In Conduct Syndromes (MATRICS)

Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2019,

Conduct Disorder (CD) is the key paediatric disorder characterized by severe aggression. It is heterogeneous, and our understanding of the neurobiology to subtype aggression is limited. MATRICS is a multidisciplinary consortium of academic partners and SMEs that focuses on the subtyping of aggression both within CD and of the broader cross-disorder trait of aggression. MATRICS will test the hypoth ...

The overall aim of this project is to identify key biophysical mechanisms that control the spatial arrangement of signalling proteins and membrane lipids in the regulation of T cell activation. During an immune response, T cells are activated in response to antigenic peptides in a process that requires the formation of multi-molecular signalling complexes. It is known that many T cell signalling p ...

Changes in input lead to changes of synaptic circuits in the brain via a combination of synapse specific Hebbian plasticity and cell-wide homeostatic plasticity. While Hebbian plasticity has been well studied, there are still a number of outstanding fundamental questions related to homeostatic plasticity.

Complex Synthetic Mimics of the Cell Membrane (COSMIC)

I propose to bridge the gap between simple in vitro measurements of biological processes, and the complexities of the cellular environment. This requires reduced in vitro systems that are sufficiently complex to reproduce the subtleties of the in vivo biological phenomenon, but sufficiently controllable to test how quantitative changes in a particular property affects function. The challenge is to ...

Aggression is a basic physiological trait with important roles throughout evolution, both in defence and predation. When expressed in humans in the wrong context, aggression leads to maladjustment, social impairment and crime.
