Psychogenic diseases linked to abnormal brain activity
Publication date: 25 February 2013
Individuals with psychogenic disease (i.e. physical illness stemming from emotional or mental stresses) have brains that function differently to people with organic diseases, according to new research from UCL Institute of Neurology and the University of Cambridge.
Professor Nicholas Wood appointed as neuroscience programme director for UCLH NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)
Publication date: 17 December 2012
Professor Wood holds the Galton

been a Professor at the Institute of Neurology since 2001. His group
have made major contributions to our understanding of the genetic basis
of neurological disease.
Professor Wood is very
excited at the prospect of helping the NIHR BRC deliver its ambitious
programme of experimental Medicine and in particular the opportunities
it presents to the Institute
of Neurology.
"It seems important to me
that in translating medical discoveries that we address fundamental
issues based on the biology of neurological disease, and use the human
disease as the model system
to be studied" said Professor wood.
