The MRC CoRE in Restorative Neural Dynamics will receive up to £50 million over 14 years, and will be led by researchers at the University of Oxford, Cardiff University, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, Imperial College London and Newcastle University.
The centre team will investigate 'neural dynamics’, the complex and changing patterns of activity across networks of nerve cells in the brain that underlie behaviour. They will study how neural dynamics arise in health and are disturbed in brain disorders.
The team will exploit knowledge of neural dynamics as they develop novel interventions and technology – ranging from brain implants to non-invasive and wearable devices – that could improve how the brain and body functions.
The Oxford researchers span two University divisions and are based at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences and the Department of Engineering Science.
