Brain substrates of behavioural endophenotypes predictive of compulsive drug-seeking
Addiction, also known as severe substance use disorder, is characterised by compulsive drug-seeking and intake in the face of mounting adverse and negative consequences. Despite the prevalence of illicit drug use within ... -
Curation, characterisation and prediction of Drosophila signalling pathway members
Signalling pathways are key to virtually every aspect of the biology of multicellular organisms. Extensive research in Drosophila melanogaster has greatly contributed to the understanding of these pathways, but a central ... -
Investigating the molecular pharmacology of class A and B G protein-coupled receptors
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) possess an inherent ability to bind to an extremely diverse range of ligands and activate multiple downstream signalling pathways. It is becomingly increasingly evident, however, that ... -
Investigating the role of the circadian clock in the physiology of wheat
The circadian clock is an endogenous timing mechanism which acts to synchronise internal processes with daily and seasonal cycles in light and temperature. In Arabidopsis, the components which comprise the circadian ...
