John G. R. Jefferys

Professor Jefferys’ expertise is in the cellular physiology of neurons of the hippocampus and cortex, their organisation into functional networks, and especially how they can malfunction in chronic epilepsy. His research has led to insights into: network mechanisms of acute seizures and chronic epileptic foci, (patho)physiology of prion protein and prion diseases, network mechanisms of cortical oscillations, and sensitivities of brain tissue to electric fields.
