The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study (2006)
Journal Article
Zachariou, M., Dissanayake, D., Owen, M. R., Mason, R., & Coombes, S. The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study. Neurocomputing, 70(10/12), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2006.10.065

Gating of sensory (e.g. auditory) information has been demonstrated as a reduction in the auditory-evoked potential responses recorded in the brain of both normal animals and human subjects. Auditory gating is perturbed in schizophrenic patients and... Read More about The role of cannabinoids in the neurobiology of sensory gating: a firing rate model study.

Analysis of the Sam50 translocase of excavate organisms supports evolution of divergent organelles from a common endosymbiotic event
Journal Article
Kay, C. J., Lawler, K., & Kerr, I. D. Analysis of the Sam50 translocase of excavate organisms supports evolution of divergent organelles from a common endosymbiotic event. Bioscience Reports, 33(6), Article e00084. https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20130049

As free-living organisms the ancestors of mitochondria and plastids encoded complete genomes, proteomes and metabolomes. As these symbionts became organelles all these aspects were reduced – genomes have degenerated with the host nucleus now encoding...

Delivery and use of individualised feedback in large class medical teaching
Journal Article
Burr, S. A., Brodier, E., & Wilkinson, S. Delivery and use of individualised feedback in large class medical teaching. BMC Medical Education, 13(May), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6920-13-63

Background: Formative feedback that encourages self-directed learning in large class medical teaching is difficult to deliver. This study describes a new method, blueprinted feedback, and explores learner’s responses to assess its appropriate use w...

Recombinant expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor for quantitative ligand-binding analysis
Journal Article
Fan, M., Bell, A. R., Bell, D. R., Clode, S., Fernandes, A., Foster, P. M., …White, S. Recombinant expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor for quantitative ligand-binding analysis. Analytical Biochemistry, 384, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ab.2008.10.003

Recombinant expression of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) yields small amounts of ligand- binding competent AhR. Therefore, Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells and baculovirus have been evaluated for high level and functional expression of AhR. R...
