• Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour

  We are partnering with the Wellcome Trust to establish this new research centre, where scientists will use state-of-the-art techniques to investigate how circuits in the brain process information to create neural representations and guide behaviour.

• Oxford Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour

  We jointly funded the development of this centre with the Wellcome Trust. With its scientific focus on circuit mechanisms underpinning adaptive behaviour, it is intended to complement and collaborate with the Sainsbury-Wellcome Centre.

• BrainFacts

  The public lack an online source of authoritative information about the progress and promise of brain research. To address this, we are partnering with the Kavli Foundation to support the Society for Neuroscience to create and maintain BrainFacts.org.

• Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit

  We established this unit in 1998 at University College London (UCL) to provide a unique opportunity for a critical mass of theoreticians to interact closely with each other and with UCL’s other world-class research groups in neuroscience and related areas.

• Columbia University, New York: Gatsby Initiative in Brain Circuitry

  Since 2005 we have supported experimental and theoretical neuroscience at Columbia University through new faculty recruitment, grants for innovative research projects, and the forging of links with other institutes for international collaboration.

• Interdisciplinary Centre for Neural Computation, Hebrew University

  We are supporting research at this centre in Israel to advance our understanding of the principles of dynamics and function in the cortex, and helping the centre foster collaborations with other institutes in the UK and the USA with overlapping interests.

• California Circuits Consortium

  We support this consortium of five laboratories at three institutes across California collaborating to develop and refine tools for the functional analysis of cortical circuits underlying higher brain function, such as visual perception and attention.

• Connectomics Consortium

  We support this consortium, which is using hardware, software and biological tools separately developed in laboratories at three US institutes to collectively enable the construction of “connectomes” – wiring diagrams of whole regions of the nervous system.

• Häusser Laboratory, Neural Computation Group, University College London

  We have supported Professor Michael Häusser’s research for many years and provided a five-year grant at the beginning of 2007 to expand the research and technology in his laboratory, in particular in the area of high resolution investigation of circuits.

• Functional Neurosurgery Group, Frenchay Hospital, Bristol

  The primary aim of this group is to improve the delivery of targeted therapies to the brain to treat a range of neurological disorders and tumours. To this end, we funded the purchase of a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanner.
