Cambridge has a strong tradition in neuroscience having been host to the first analyses of neural signalling in the 1930s, determined the mechanisms of neuronal firing in the 1950s, and heralded some of the early theoretical approaches to the functions of neural circuitry in the 1960s. Neuroscience continues to grow at Cambridge, with an
impressive record of achievement in multi-disciplinary research.
Cambridge is uniquely placed to meet the challenges of neuroscience in the future and there is no doubt that the Cambridge Neuroscience initiative will meet these needs and fulfil its expectations.
