Preprint / Working Paper
Gladman, J. R. F., Stocks, J., Phillips, B., Horobin, A., Wragg, A., Mundey, M., Woodcock, R., Braybrooke, R., Junor, A., Hendy, C., Morgan, K., Prior, M., & Humes, D. Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement for PhD Students

This paper aims to provide useful advice regarding the development of skills for patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in research. The authors of this paper comprise experienced PhD supervisors and trainers, researchers leading PPIE a... Read More about Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement for PhD Students.

Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations (2021)
Journal Article
Prior, M. J., Bast, T., McGarrity, S., Goldschmidt, J., Vincenz, D., Seaton, A., Hall, G., & Pitiot, A. (2021). Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations. Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 5,

There is currently no brain atlas available to specifically determine stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgery in Lister hooded rats despite the popularity of this strain for behavioural neuroscience studies in the UK and elsewhere. We have created a... Read More about Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations.

Journal Article
Yanez Lopez, M., Pardon, M.-C., Baiker, K., Prior, M., Yuchun, D., Agostini, A., Bai, L., Auer, D. P., & Faas, H. M. (2019). Myoinositol CEST signal in animals with increased Iba-1 levels in response to an inflammatory challenge—Preliminary findings. PLoS ONE, 14(2), Article e0212002. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212002

Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of a range of brain disorders. Non-invasive imaging of neuroinflammation is critical to help improve our understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms, monitor therapies and guide dru...

NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy (2017)
Journal Article
Rossi, F., Geiszler, P. C., Meng, W., Barron, M., Prior, M., Herd-Smith, A., Loreto, A., Yanez Lopez, M., Faas, H., Pardon, M.-C., & Conforti, L. (2018). NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy. Behavioural Brain Research, 339, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2017.11.030

NAD metabolism and the NAD biosynthetic enzymes nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferases (NMNATs) are thought to play a key neuroprotective role in tauopathies, including Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we investigated whether modulating the expressio... Read More about NAD-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 reduces early behavioral impairment in the htau mouse model of tauopathy.

Neural correlates of hyperalgesia in the monosodium iodoacetate model of osteoarthritis pain (2016)
Journal Article
Abaei, M., Sagar, D. R., Stockley, E. G., Spicer, C. H., Prior, M., Chapman, V., & Auer, D. P. (in press). Neural correlates of hyperalgesia in the monosodium iodoacetate model of osteoarthritis pain. Molecular Pain, 12, https://doi.org/10.1177/1744806916642445

Background: The mechanisms driving osteoarthritic pain remain poorly understood, but there is increasing evidence for a role of the central nervous system in the chronification of pain.We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the...
