Event details

The aim of this event is to showcase research highlights in Neuroscience at the University of Southampton. It will encompass research into neurodegenerative disease, alcohol dependency, human behaviour and animal models of disease. It will incorporate a few hands-on demonstrations and we hope this will be of interest to lower 6th form students who are considering careers in biomedical research. It will also illustrate the number of different outreach projects that we have in progress and provide an opportunity for new schools and groups to get involved.
