Bernadette Majda, Ms (PhD Student)
Project: Characterisation of a novel gene expressed in the brain following cerebral ischaemia. The genes and proteins activated following ischaemia are significant determinants of brain cell survival. The aim of my project is to investigate the role of a hypothetical protein P1A following ischaemia. The expression profile of P1A will be…
David Putrino, Mr (PhD Student)
Project: Studies of coordinated neuronal firing in the motor cortical areas. The aim of my project is to understand the different ways in which motor cortex neurons code for the many different aspects of movement, and work together to form functional networks capable of producing accurate, meaningful movements. Data was collected…
Project: The Role of the Sodium Calcium Exchanger (NCX) in Response to Cerebral Ischaemia. The focus of this project is to characterise the role of the sodium calcium exchanger (NCX), a membrane ion transporter, in response to cerebral ischemia. I will be assessing the potential of the NCX to protect…
Jane Dundas, Miss (PhD Student)
Project: The effects on motor function & cognition following transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) Report: Jane is in middle phase of her studies, and is exploring an interventional brain stimulation technique that holds promise for improving brain function and memory. By applying a very low voltage potential difference over the…
Jing-Shan Wu, Dr (PhD Student)
Project: The spectrum of demyelinating disease and its associated immunogenetic characteristics in Western Australia. Report: This study retrospectively reviewed 842 individual case notes with central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disease seen by two neurologists in Western Australia (WA). The patient population is predominantly Caucasian, probably representing approximately two-third MS cases…
