It may not be quite time to throw out the psychiatrist\u2019s couch, but Oxford Professor of Psychiatry Andrea Cipriani is hoping his research might transform the traditional approach to mental health treatment.
The first participants in a clinical trial of a bioelectrical therapy to treat incontinence have received their \u201csmart\u201d bioelectronic implants.
NMDAR-antibody encephalitis is an autoimmune brain condition caused by patient\u2019s own antibodies that bind to NMDA (N-Methyl-D-Aspartate) receptors in the synapses between nerve cells.
Research by Sarah Bauermeister of Dementias Platform UK into hearing loss and its impacts on the progress of dementia in later life has featured in extensive media coverage of a Brain Health Check-In tool created by Alzheimer's Research UK.
A new study, co-authored by Professor Vladyslav Vyazovskiy, published in Nature Neuroscience, has revealed that intracellular chloride levels within cortical pyramidal neurons reflect sleep\u2013wake history.
A new review from Professor Ana Domingos\u2019 lab and colleagues offers a fresh modern viewpoint on sympathetic neurons and their relation to immune cells and obesity.
New research from the University of Oxford has shown an increased risk of severe illness and death from both COVID-19 and other severe respiratory infections, such as influenza and pneumonia, among people with a pre-existing mental health condition.
Establishing preclinical models of Alzheimer\u2019s that reflect in-life clinical symptoms of each individual is a critically important goal, yet so far it has not been fully realised. A new collaborative study from the University of Oxford has demonstrated that clinical vulnerability to an abnormally abundant protein in Alzheimer\u2019s brain is in fact reflected in individual patient induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons.
In the most comprehensive study of its kind, researchers at the University of Oxford and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust found a substantially higher rate of fractures in people with intellectual disability compared with people of the same age and gender without an intellectual disability
Scientists have developed a new way to test the theory that active neurons can change what they signal in the world, rather than keeping a stable correspondence to things (such as a features of an object, or ideas).
A new study investigates immune mechanisms that underlie a brain disease called NMDAR-antibody encephalitis, an autoimmune disease in which antibodies are produced, and subsequently disrupt brain NMDA receptors, crucial in maintaining normal brain function.
New study from the University of Oxford and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre investigated neurological and psychiatric diagnoses in over 1.25 million people following diagnosed COVID-19 infection, using data from the US-based TriNetX electronic health record network.
