Background
We collaborate with like-minded organisations to support neuroscience research and development as well as public engagement and outreach
We’ve been engaging with a number of organisations who share our goal of advancing neuroscience research and the treatment of functional neurological disorder. Our largest collaboration is with Wellcome, to build the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour at UCL (University College London). This state-of-the-art neuroscience research institute seeks to better understand the neural circuitry that can guide human behaviour.
BrainFacts
In 2012 we launched a partnership with the Kavli Foundation to support the Society for Neuroscience to develop an online source of authoritative information about the progress and promise of brain research.
British Neuroscience Association
We are supporting the British Neuroscience Association (BNA) to implement a programme of new activities to become a strong and prominent professional society for 21st century UK neuroscience.
Neuromatch Academy
Developing a fully online three-week global summer school for computational neuroscience aimed at early career researchers.
Neuropixels silicon probes
As part of an international consortium we funded the development of the first version of Neuropixels, an advanced neural recording probe for research applications in animals.
Neuroscience Conferences
Conferences are a key part of our mission to advance experimental and theoretical understanding of neural circuits and behavior, and build capacity across the neuroscience community. We facilitate the dissemination of science, networking, cross-disciplinary exchange, and access for early career researchers.
Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviour
We partnered with Wellcome to establish a new neuroscience research institute. Here scientists are using state-of-the-art techniques and theoretical models to investigate how circuits in the brain process information to create neural representations and guide behaviour.
