'We aim to understand the adaptive role of temporary lapses of recall in memory consolidation'

Prof. Paul Benjamin

'We look at evolutionarily conserved cellular and molecular mechanisms of memory function and dysfunction in defined neural circuits'

Prof. George Kemenes
Professor of Neuroscience
G.Kemenes@sussex.ac.uk

'I am interested in the behavioural and physiological processes underlying memory formation and especially what happens during lapses in memory'

 Dr Ildiko Kemenes
Research Fellow
I.Kemenes@sussex.ac.uk

'We investigate the role of long noncoding RNAs in Nitric Oxide (NO)-dependent physiological and pathophysiological processes in the brain'

Dr. Sergei Korneev
Senior Lecturer in Neuroscience
S.Korneev@sussex.ac.uk

'I’m interested in how neural circuits in animal brains have evolved in relation to behaviour that they generate and the energy they consume'

Dr Jeremy Niven
Research Fellow
J.E.Niven@sussex.ac.uk

'I look at what  simple neuronal networks can tell us about how the human brain acquires, processes, stores and uses information in generating adaptive behaviour?'

Prof. Michael O'Shea
Professor of Neuroscience
M.O-Shea@sussex.ac.uk

'We look at synapses - signalling points between brain cells - investigating how they normally work and also change during learning or disease'

Dr. Kevin Staras
Reader in Neuroscience
