The Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour opens

Principal theme: Academic leadership

As neuroscience enters an exciting new phase, the new Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour provides an unparalleled environment for experimental research.

Neuroscience has made great progress in understanding the organisation and function of the brain. The challenge now is to understand how circuits carry out the information processing that directly underlies behaviour.
