PhD studentship, University of Bradford, Institute of Health and Social Care Understanding how nutrition can affect cognition is important in our modern world as it has been shown that poor nutrition, linked to the overconsumption of ultra processed foods high in fat and/or sugar can cause cognitive impairment. This project takes an interdisciplinary approach to address this problem using dietary interventions on animal models of cognition. During this project you will learn techniques from a range of disciplines including: animal behavioural testing, biochemical techniques, genetic manipulation and electrophysiology.
