As we progress through life our bodies show signs of ageing, and the brain can too. Sometimes the communication and structure of the brain and nervous system unexpectedly starts deteriorating. Our researchers are interested in understanding how this occurs and how it may be prevented.
They are particularly interested in understanding how the neuronal, glial and vascular systems interact, what the common mechanisms are that underlie neurodegeneration, and how we can repair these systems once they are damaged. You can find out more about specific research topics here:
