Many congratulations to MRC CBU’s Camilla Nord who has won one of the highly competitive AXA Fellowships for her project “A neurocomputational framework for mental health maintenance.” Camilla said “I am delighted to have been awarded the AXA Fellowship, which will fund experiments looking at the neural and computational mechanisms of reward learning and their […]
Cambridge doctor raises dementia awareness in powerful charity campaign
Cambridge-based clinician and researcher, Prof James Rowe, takes the spotlight in an inspiring new charity film exploring the impact dementia has on the brain and the power of research to overcome it. The film is part of Alzheimer’s Research UK and Ricoh’s joint campaign, Dementia Uncovered, which highlights the many physical diseases that cause dementia, as […]
Functional network dynamics in a neurodevelopmental disorder of known genetic origin
Dynamic connectivity in functional brain networks is a fundamental aspect of cognitive development, but we have little understanding of the mechanisms driving variability in these networks. Genes are likely to influence the emergence of fast network connectivity via their regulation of neuronal processes, but novel methods to capture these rapid dynamics have rarely been used […]
Mild-to-moderate hearing loss in children leads to changes in how brain processes sound
Deafness in early childhood is known to lead to lasting changes in how sounds are processed in the brain, but new research published today in eLife shows that even mild-to-moderate levels of hearing loss in young children can lead to similar changes. Researchers say that the findings may have implications for how babies are screened for hearing […]
Aya Ben-Yakov: Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow
Congratulations to MRC CBU’s Aya Ben-Yakov, who has been appointed as one of the new Dorothy Hodgkin Fellows for 2019. The Royal Society announced the appointment of eight new Dorothy Hodgkin Fellows this week. The researchers will take up their new posts at institutions across the UK from the start of October. Aya Said: “When we […]

STXBP1-associated neurodevelopmental disorder: a comparative study of behavioural characteristics
It is now possible to identify a specific genetic disorder in around 50% of individuals with intellectual disability. However, we are at a very early stage of understanding the links between each genetic disorder, brain development, cognition and everyday difficulties. De novo loss of function mutations in STXBP1 are a relatively common cause of epilepsy […]
