The kynurenine pathway and neurodegeneration: from mechanisms to therapeutics. Professor Flaviano Giorgini, University of Leicester. Host: Dr Mirko Pegoraro Room: TRB 1.45
This exciting and popular 2-day course focuses on the the anatomy of the “limbic” brain including the topography and functional anatomy of the limbic lobe, hippocampus, amygdala and ventral striatum – and clearly explains notoriously confusing topics such as the basal forebrain, septal area, habenula, olfactory areas, extended amygdala.

Speaker: Dr. Spencer Hayes, University College London. Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, interests or activities, and persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction. In addition to these core characteristics, it is well reported that autistic people show differences in sensorimotor functioning – such […]
How does cognition contribute to the signs and symptoms of chronic pain? Dr Chris Brown. University of Liverpool. Host: Dr Susannah Walker Room: TRB 1.44 (This talk has been rescheduled – previously due to be held in December 2018)
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience research group meeting. Speaker: Dr Samantha Brooks. Title: Learning from the neural correlates of Anorexia Nervosa about how we might treat Substance Use Disorder. The rising trend of internationally competitive research into the cognitive control of impulsivity reflects the importance of examining the neural mechanisms of impulse control. The rising trend might […]
Abstract: Faces and voices convey much of the non-verbal information that we use when communicating with other people. We look at faces and listen to voices to recognise others, understand how they are feeling, and decide how to act. Recent research in my lab aims to investigate whether there are similar coding mechanisms to represent faces and voices, and whether there are brain regions that integrate this information across the visual and auditory modalities. …
The Walton Centre & Liverpool Neursocience Group together present an extended programme of Clinical Neuroscience research presentations, followed by the annual Sutcliffe Kerr lecture, given this year by Professor Julie Williams CBE – director of the Dementia Research Institute at Cardiff University, and Chief Scientific Advisor to the Welsh Government.
Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience @ LJMU. Speaker: Nicola Jones Nicola’s interests include learning, memory and attention, and how these processes are represented behaviourally and at a neural level in both typical and atypical populations. Her PhD research was focused on investigating the effects of glucoregulation on memory and face recognition in older adults.
The Pain Research Institute invites all researchers, clinicians and students in Liverpool & the Northwest, with an interest in pain research to attend the PRI Research & Publication Day. To register, and/or volunteer to present at the event – contact: Hayley McCullough

Tom Moore – MCP Seminar
In the Centre for Attention Learning and Memory (CALM) weadopt a novel transdiagnostic approach to illuminating the cognitive, neural and behavioural dimensions of specific learning difficulties. In this talk I will present an overview of the CALM clinic and discuss two approaches to identifying the cognitive dimensions of learning problems in literacy and maths.
