2. To interrogate the role of the gut microbiota in Alzheimer’s disease and in exercise-induced changes in inflammation, brain plasticity and behaviour in ageing
3. To identify the inflammatory mechanisms underlying the negative effects of a cafeteria diet on brain and behaviour and to investigate exercise as a mitigating strategy
4. To increase understanding of learning strategies, academic motivation, well-being, and anxiety linked with inflammation in adolescent undergraduate students in UCC
5. To investigate musical training on cognition and sociability in children with Down Syndrome
Leadership in Anatomy: Dr. Nolan has developed curriculum, taught and assessed Anatomy to students in Occupational, Speech and Language Therapy, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and to postgraduate students in Anatomy, Osteoarchaeology and Audiology since her appointment in 2003. She was Anatomy liaison for School of Clinical Therapies (2004–2016). She has represented the department at School and Exam Boards and in the accreditation and re-accreditation of both Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy programmes since 2006. She co-ordinates/previously co-ordinated six anatomy modules (AN1060; AN1061; AN1074; AN3005; AN3006; AN6001).
Research-led teaching: Dr. Nolan draws on her expertise in cognitive function, inflammation and lifestyle factors influencing the brain in her teaching.

Biography
Yvonne Nolan is a Senior Lecturer, Funded Investigator in APC Microbiome Ireland and a Science Foundation Ireland Investigator. She leads a research team investigating the impact of inflammation and modifiable lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress, diet and music on brain plasticity, mental health and memory throughout the lifespan. Yvonne graduated from NUI, Galway with a BSc (Hons) in Biochemistry (1996), and a PhD in Neuropharmacology (1999). She was a visiting scholar at McGill University Montreal, Canada (1998) and held postdoctoral positions in Trinity College, Dublin (1999 – 2003). In 2003 she was appointed as Lecturer in the Department of Anatomy and Neuroscience, UCC and in 2011 she was promoted to Senior Lecturer.Research in Dr. Nolan's laboratory focuses on the effects of inflammation, exercise, stress and diet on hippocampal plasticity and neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and on associated learning, memory and mood throughout the lifespan.

Research Interests
Research in Dr. Nolan’s group is focused on understanding how lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress, diet and music throughout the life course impact upon neuronal functions and behaviour, with a focus on inflammation as a critical mediator. We work on the role of the gut microbiome and hippocampal neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) in mediating these environmental influences on the brain and behaviour. Concurrently, an awareness of modifiable lifestyle factors (exercise, diet, music) for brain health is promoted.The inter-related aims of Dr. Nolan’s research programme are:
1. To understand the mechanisms underpinning the interplay between chronic neuroinflammation and exercise on hippocampal neurogenesis (a form of brain plasticity involving the production of new neurons from stem cells) and behaviour (memory and mood) during sensitive periods of the lifespan, specifically adolescence and older age
2. To interrogate the role of the gut microbiota in Alzheimer’s disease and in exercise-induced changes in inflammation, brain plasticity and behaviour in ageing
3. To identify the inflammatory mechanisms underlying the negative effects of a cafeteria diet on brain and behaviour and to investigate exercise as a mitigating strategy
4. To increase understanding of learning strategies, academic motivation, well-being, and anxiety linked with inflammation in adolescent undergraduate students in UCC
5. To investigate musical training on cognition and sociability in children with Down Syndrome

Teaching Interests
Leadership in Neuroscience: Dr. Nolan was Director of the BSc Neuroscience (2015-2020) and co-ordinates (currently/past five years) seven neuroscience modules (AN2020; AN3001; AN4011; AN4013; AN4014; AN4015; AN6031).She established a staff-student liaison committee, peer mentoring, career advisory sessions, Student Declaration and Code of Conduct, Work placement module, alumni talks, information video, Twitter handle and programme email address for prospective students. She also co-ordinated the Intercalated BSc in Neuroscience for Medical students.Leadership in Anatomy: Dr. Nolan has developed curriculum, taught and assessed Anatomy to students in Occupational, Speech and Language Therapy, Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and to postgraduate students in Anatomy, Osteoarchaeology and Audiology since her appointment in 2003. She was Anatomy liaison for School of Clinical Therapies (2004–2016). She has represented the department at School and Exam Boards and in the accreditation and re-accreditation of both Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy programmes since 2006. She co-ordinates/previously co-ordinated six anatomy modules (AN1060; AN1061; AN1074; AN3005; AN3006; AN6001).
Research-led teaching: Dr. Nolan draws on her expertise in cognitive function, inflammation and lifestyle factors influencing the brain in her teaching. She leads an active research group in Neuroscience and impart her expertise in three research-based modules (AN4011, AN4013, AN4014) which she coordinates. She has supervised 6 taught MSc dissertation students, >50 undergraduate projects, >60 library projects and seven ERASMUS projects (Grenoble, Beijing, Amsterdam, Toulouse).
