Depth-specific response of a single point location in the visual cortex of a human participant. Binocular depth (top left) presented by a stereo pair (top right) and varied slowly over time. When the depth signal is strong for this cortical location, the blood flow to the cortex responds (black traces, bottom) and the adaptive model (red trace) finds an event in the Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) response.

Neuronal representation of economic decision variables is structured at multiple scale: it exhibit distinct spatial gradients across the frontal cortex, and also depends on where frontal neurons project.

The scar in a control mouse heart (CON; left panel) and macrophage-specific collagen type V knock-out mouse (cKO; right panel) 21 days after a heart attack. The blue staining highlights aligned and stable collagen fibres in the control heart and highly disorganised, unstable “wavy” collagen fibres in the knock-out heart after injury.

Research shows Type V collagen from macrophages regulates initial collagen assembly and alignment in post-infarcted hearts

Oxford University researchers pioneer new breathing test to detect lung disease earlier

A new project led by Oxford University aims to develop a novel breathing test that could detect asthma and COPD earlier, more accurately, and closer to home - reducing pressure on the NHS and improving outcomes for patients.
