Journal Article
Elsheikha, H. M., Al-Sandaqchi, A. T., Harun, M. S., Winterton, F., Altharawi, A., Elsaied, N. A., …Chan, K. L. A. (2022). Illuminating Host-Parasite Interaction at the Cellular and Subcellular Levels with Infrared Microspectroscopy. Cells, 11(5), Article 811. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells11050811

Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an opportunistic protozoan that can cause brain infection and other serious health consequences in immuno-compromised individuals. This parasite has a remarkable ability to cross biological barriers and exploit the ho...

Hippocampal Disinhibition Reduces Contextual and Elemental Fear Conditioning While Sparing the Acquisition of Latent Inhibition (2022)
Journal Article
Williams, S. A., Gwilt, M., Hock, R., Taylor, C., Loayza, J., Stevenson, C. W., …Bast, T. (2022). Hippocampal Disinhibition Reduces Contextual and Elemental Fear Conditioning While Sparing the Acquisition of Latent Inhibition. eNeuro, 9(1), ENEURO.0270-21.2021. https://doi.org/10.1523/eneuro.0270-21.2021

Hippocampal neural disinhibition, i.e., reduced GABAergic inhibition, is a key feature of schizophrenia pathophysiology. The hippocampus is an important part of the neural circuitry that controls fear conditioning and can also modulate prefrontal and...

Sex differences in auditory fear discrimination are associated with altered medial prefrontal cortex function (2020)
Journal Article
Day, H. L. L., Suwansawang, S., Halliday, D. M., & Stevenson, C. W. (2020). Sex differences in auditory fear discrimination are associated with altered medial prefrontal cortex function. Scientific Reports, 10(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-63405-w

© 2020, The Author(s). The increased prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that is observed in women may involve sex differences in learned fear inhibition and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) function. PTSD is characterized by fear over... Read More about Sex differences in auditory fear discrimination are associated with altered medial prefrontal cortex function.

Improved functional connectivity network estimation for brain networks using multivariate partial coherence (2020)
Journal Article
Halliday, D. M., Senik, M. H., Makhtar, S. N., Stevenson, C. W., & Mason, R. (2020). Improved functional connectivity network estimation for brain networks using multivariate partial coherence. Journal of Neural Engineering, 17(2), Article 026013. https://doi.org/10.1088/1741-2552/ab7a50

Objective: Graphical networks and network metrics are widely used to understand and char-acterise brain networks and brain function. These methods can be applied to a range of electro-physiological data including electroencephalography, local field p...
