Adam Ranson

Dr. Adam Ranson is a Sêr Cymru Research Fellow at Cardiff University's Neuroscience & Mental Health Research Institute within the School of Medicine. His research examines neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and plasticity, utilizing mouse models to investigate cortical dynamics and sensory integration. Key projects explore experience-dependent plasticity, neural circuitry in visual discrimination, and cortical modulation in neuropsychiatric disorders.

His publications emphasize experimental neuroscience, with recent work in Cerebral Cortex and Cell Reports focusing on adaptive neural responses to sensory inputs. Research employs advanced techniques like high-yield psychophysics and in vivo neural recording.

Dr. Ranson collaborates internationally on projects related to autism therapeutics and schizophrenia models, and mentors students in neurobiology techniques.
