The nervous system is the most complex and highly organised part of the body and neuroscience seeks to understand how this system is able to generate perception, thoughts and behaviour. This understanding is essential for combating disease and injury of the nervous systems. Full description To tackle this formidable task, neuroscientists at Leeds employ multiple techniques ranging from traditional electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry and behavioural testing to high resolution imaging (including CryoEM), high density recordings, optogenetics and bioelectronics, cutting across various disciplines. They are working, using in-vitro and in-vivo animal models and humans, on aspects of neural influences on body systems from sensory perception to motor output, encompassing neuroplasticity. Our research themes include: Molecular Neuroscience Molecular neuroscience aims to understand functions and malfunctions of the nervous system at a molecular scale.
