Unit Science Day, Summer 2016

13 June 2016

Attendees at the BNDU’s Science Day in summer 2016.

The Unit held its third Science Day on Friday 10th June 2016. Ongoing and future research projects were the focus of discussion, and Unit members and visitors enthusiastically took the opportunity to give the constructive criticism that is needed to foster collaborative, world-leading research.

There were 16 short talks and 6 poster presentations, most of which were given by the Unit’s students and early-career scientists. Unit Director Peter Brown commented “What a tremendous day! Excellent science, and a meeting that was clearly enjoyed by all. It was a pleasure to experience such a vibrant gathering.”

Unit postdoctoral scientist Stephanie Trouche discusses the interactions between hippocampus and basal ganglia.
