Journal Article
Naylor, G., Dillard, L., Orrell, M., Stephan, B. C. M., Zobay, O., & Saunders, G. H. (2022). Dementia and hearing-aid use: a two-way street. Age and Ageing, 51(12), Article afac266. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afac266

Objectives Hearing-aid use may reduce risk of dementia, but cognitive impairment makes use more challenging. An observed association between reduced hearing-aid use and incident dementia could reflect either or both of these causal paths. The object...

The large numbers of minicolumns in the primary visual cortex of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas are related to high visual acuity (2022)
Journal Article
Wallace, M. N., Zobay, O., Hardman, E., Thompson, Z., Dobbs, P., Chakrabarti, L., & Palmer, A. R. (2022). The large numbers of minicolumns in the primary visual cortex of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas are related to high visual acuity.

Minicolumns are thought to be a fundamental neural unit in the neocortex and their replication may have formed the basis of the rapid cortical expansion that occurred during primate evolution. We sought evidence of minicolumns in the primary visual c...
