Computer analysis of photographs could help doctors diagnose which condition a child with a rare genetic disorder has, says lead researcher Dr Christoffer Nell\u00e5ker along Quentin Ferry, a DPhil research student, and Professor Andrew Zisserman of the Department of Engineering Science.
Fruit flies show a mark of intelligence in 'thinking' before they act, suggests a study by researchers from the University of Oxford's Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour.
Scientists from the Departments of Physiology, Anatomy & Genetics and Pharmacology at the University of Oxford have discovered that a well-known, generic drug (\u2018drug X\u2019), the safety of which is well documented, acts as a low-dose, heart rate lowering agent by targeting the if current.
Dr Stephen Goodwin and colleagues at the University of Oxford are step closer to understanding why female Drosophila melangoster fruit flies change their behaviour after mating.
As part of Brain Awareness Week 2014, the auditory neuroscience group in DPAG is putting on a series of interactive activities that include visualizing your own speech sounds and demonstrating how are ears and brains process these sounds.
The switch in the brain that sends us off to sleep has been identified by researchers at Oxford University\u2019s Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour in a study in fruit flies.
Grants totalling almost \u00a3350,000 will be made to three Oxford University scientists for their research to combat a devastating muscle-wasting condition, a national charity has announced today.
Research lead by scientists in DPAG (Stephen Goodwin group) and the Department of Zoology demonstrates that male fruit flies like to have a variety of sexual partners, whereas females prefer to stick with the same mate \u2013 or move on to his brothers.
Important new insights into how the brain compensates for temporary hearing loss during infancy, such as that commonly experienced by children with glue ear, are revealed in a research study in ferrets.
