Dr. Steve Edgley

Biography

Professor Steve Edgley works in the Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on the neural circuits that control movements, specifically examining how everyday movements are performed with remarkable precision, often without conscious thought. The underlying neural mechanisms of these movements are poorly understood, and Professor Edgley's work aims to address this by studying these processes at various levels, particularly within the spinal cord and cerebellum. His research employs electrophysiological techniques to record and analyze neuronal signals. Currently, there is a significant focus on the defined circuitry of the cerebellum and its contributions to learning processes that automate movements. His academic leadership includes roles in teaching neurobiology courses and directing studies in preclinical medicine at St John's College, where he also serves as a tutor.
