A framework for ecosystem resilience in policy and practice: DECCA (2021)
Journal Article
Latham, J., Spode, S., Ayling, S., Thomas, R., Lindenbaum, K., & Bellamy, A. S. (2021). A framework for ecosystem resilience in policy and practice: DECCA. Ecology and Society, 26(4), https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-12865-260431

Ecosystem resilience is increasingly considered within political responses to environmental problems, and is a key element of recent environmental legislation in Wales. The actual mechanisms of ecosystem resilience are complex, making it difficult, f... Read More about A framework for ecosystem resilience in policy and practice: DECCA.

Selective reduction of APP-BACE1 activity improves memory via NMDA-NR2B receptor-mediated mechanisms in aged PDAPP mice (2019)
Journal Article
Evans, C. E., Thomas, R. S., Freeman, T. J., Hvoslef-Eide, M., Good, M. A., & Kidd, E. J. (2019). Selective reduction of APP-BACE1 activity improves memory via NMDA-NR2B receptor-mediated mechanisms in aged PDAPP mice. Neurobiology of Aging, 75, 136-149. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2018.11.011

β-Amyloid (Aβ) accumulation is an early event of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Inhibition of Aβ production by β-secretase (BACE) has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for AD. However, BACE inhibitors lack specificity and have... Read More about Selective reduction of APP-BACE1 activity improves memory via NMDA-NR2B receptor-mediated mechanisms in aged PDAPP mice.

A rapidly acquired foraging-based working memory task, sensitive to hippocampal lesions, reveals age-dependent and age-independent behavioural changes in a mouse model of amyloid pathology (2018)
Journal Article
Evans, C., Hvoslefeide, M., Thomas, R. S., Kidd, E., & Good, M. (2018). A rapidly acquired foraging-based working memory task, sensitive to hippocampal lesions, reveals age-dependent and age-independent behavioural changes in a mouse model of amyloid pathology. Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, 149, 46-57. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nlm.2018.02.004

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Three experiments examined the ability of mice to forage efficiently for liquid rewards in pots located in an open field arena. Search behaviour was unconstrained other than by the walls of the arena. All mice acquired the task w...

Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. A major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing age, but the reason behind this association has not been identified. It is thought that the changes in...

© 2016 The Author(s). Background: Polymorphisms in the gene for phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM), an endocytic-related protein, are associated with a small, increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), strongl...
