The Research Excellence Framework (REF) is the system used by UK higher education funding bodies to assess research quality in universities.\n\n\n- Life sciences ranked 9th in the UK for research power\n\n\n- More than 97% of research at Nottingham is recognised internationally\n\n\n- More than 80% of our research is ranked in the highest categories as world-leading or internationally excellent\n\n\n- 16 of our 29 subject areas feature in the UK top 10 by research power\n\n\n94.9% of postgraduates from the School of Life Sciences secured work or further study within six months of graduation. £21,400 was the average starting salary, with the highest being £40,000.*\n\n\n* Known destinations of full-time home postgraduates who were available for employment, 2016/17. Salaries are calculated based on the median of those in full-time paid employment within the UK.\n\n\nThe MRes/PhD titles you can choose from in this field are:\n\n**Neuroscience**\n\nNeuroscience degrees at Nottingham seek to answer the modern day problems that faces research into the brain and nervous system.\n\nSome of the research areas we are interested in include:\n\n**Animal Models of Mental Disease**: early environmental influences on brain neurochemistry and function in relation to mental disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, ADHD, schizophrenia and depression, particularly the role of amine, amino acid and neuropeptide neurotransmission; neurogenesis during depression.\n\n**Drugs of Abuse:** mechanisms of reward and aversive behaviour, with particular reference to cannabinoids. Neurotoxicity and metabolites of ecstasy (MDMA).\n\n**Pain Mechanisms:** the roles of GABA, vanilloid and cannabinoid receptor systems in models of chronic pain.\nNeurodegeneration and Neurotoxicity: molecular mechanisms underlying chronic human neurodegenerative disorders, particularly the role of the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway; mechanisms of reactive metabolite generation in drug toxicity and validation of alternative methods; neurovascular damage mechanisms; embryotoxicity.\n\n**Hypothalamic Control of Puberty and Body Weight:** the hypothalamic basis of energy metabolism; mechanisms involved in male reproductive maturation.\n\n**Molecular action of neurotoxins:** role of astrocytes in maintaining neuronal and vascular function and their involvement in the vulnerability and resistance to natural and chemically-mediated neurodegeneration; effects of hypoglycaemia on brain function.\n\n**Neuropathology**\n\nNeuropathology degrees at Nottingham explore many research topics, including:\n\n\n- How adverse or early life events impact neurochemistry and contribute to cognitive and social dysfunction\n\n\n- Neurodevelopmental and cognitive disorders\n\n\n- Neurodegenerative disease\n\n\n- The genetics and causes of Alzheimer's disease\n\n\n- Brain ageing and dementia\n\n\n- Post-stroke recovery and the influences that affect progress\n",
