Functional Brain Imaging

Brain imaging has made a huge impact scientifically and holds enormous potential for future application in clinical neuroscience.

Cellular & Molecular Neuroscience

Cellular and molecular neuroscience is key to understanding neuronal function and lies at the heart of modern neuroscience. We have a superb record and an exciting future in this cutting edge field.

Human Psychology, Mental Health & Psychiatry

Mental disorders are a significant source of disability and suffering. Our research into these conditions is truly multidisciplinary.

Neurological Disease

Diseases of the CNS include many of the most disabling conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, motor neuron disease and Parkinson’s disease. These disorders have great cost to the afflicted individual and to humanity as a whole. We aim to translate our research towards improved diagnosis and treatments.

Systems, Cognitive & Behavioural Neuroscience

Systems neuroscience is behind explaining behaviour and other neural functions in terms of understanding how neural signals are transformed in passing from one brain structure to another.

Systems, Cognitive & Behavioural Neuroscience

Genes & Developmental Neuroscience

We are leading the way in the application of genetics and genomic studies in basic, translational and clinical neuroscience.

Welcome

We are at the forefront of one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century - deciphering how the brain works. Oxford Neuroscience coordinates neuroscience research across all University of Oxford departments to translate discoveries from the laboratory through to improving clinical practice.
