Paul Mullins is a Professor of Psychology and Director of the Bangor Imaging Centre. His research has aimed at improving and developing MRS techniques for measuring metabolites, and using these techniques to assess change in neurotransmission in health and disease.
Caroline Lea-Carnall is an MRC Skills Development fellow at the University of Manchester. Her work focusses on plasticity, including how GABA changes following stimulation of the somatosensory cortex.
JeYoung Jung is the Beacon Anne Mclaren Fellow at the University of Nottingham. Her work focusses on semantic cognition and plasticity, and how neurochemical mechanisms facilitate these cognitive abilities.
David Niddam is based at the Institute of Brain Science at Taipei's National YangMing University.
He will discuss his work applying multi-voxel MRS to the study of chronic migrane. In this he shows how changes to cerebral energy metabolism may be an important factor in triggering migraine attacks.
Nick Puts is a senior lecturer in the Department of Forensic & Neurodevelopmental sciences at King's College London. He has been heavily involved in the development of edited MRS development, and in using edited MRS to understand differences in neurochemistry in neurodevelopmental conditions such as Autism.
