Coulson lab PhD projects
Project 1: The role of cleavage of p75 neurotrophin receptor in neurotrophic function (cell biology)
Proejct 2: The role of neurotrophins in regulating the synaptic function of cholinergic basal forebrain neurons (mouse studies: electrophysiology, behaviour, fMRI, in vivo genetic manipulation)
Project 3: Studying basal forebrain function in Alzheimer’s disease and sleep apnea (human MRI and PET analysis)
Project 4: Developing optimised peptides for treating neurotrophic dysfunction in neurodegenerative disease (biochemistry)
