- improving translation in Parkinson’s disease (cell transplantation, side effects, disease models)
- brain mechanisms of cognition and behaviour (brain, cognition, behaviour, rats)
- brain injury and repair (brain, stroke, optic nerve, plasticity, neuronal growth)
- disruption of biological rhythms and stroke (stroke, hyperglycemia, hypertension, obesity, circadian rhythm)
- neuroprotective effects of novel incretin analogues in models of Parkinson’s disease (Parkinson’s disease, rigor, tremor, drug development, dopamine)
- studies of transgenic rodents that express human amyloid protein (Transgenic, rodents, human, amyloid, protein)
