Investigating Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Neuronal Layering in Self-Organising Aggregates of Zebrafish Retinal Cells
(2018-10-20)The central nervous system is a complex, yet well-organised, often laminated, tissue. This robust organisation is evident in the architecture of the retina: consisting of 5 different neuronal types organised into distinct ... -
In vivo and in vitro guidance of developing neurons by mechanical cues
(2018-10-20)During nervous system development, growing axons navigate towards their targets using signals from their environment. These signals may be biochemical or mechanical in nature; however, the role of mechanical cues in axon ... -
Differential contributions of subregions of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex to negative emotion in the common marmoset
(2018-07-21)The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been implicated in a broad range of cognitive and emotional functions, including the processing of negative emotion. Furthermore, abnormalities in dACC activity have been ... -
Getting a monkey to do your bidding: Developing a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) method for use in monkeys
(2018-06-30)The Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method (BDM) is an auction-like mechanism widely used in behavioural economics, marketing research, and, more recently, in neuroimaging studies of human decision making. The BDM has never been ...
