About
Advancements in molecular biology, electrophysiology and computational neuroscience have paved a breakthrough for neuroscientists, allowing studies of individual neurons and the complex mapping of such neurons that pushes treatments for currently incurable diseases such as Alzheimer’s as a possibility in the future. The study of the nervous systems behaviour and cognitive functions, through multidisciplinary sciences of biology, mathematics, chemistry, computer science and psychology has never been of such great importance, especially in regard to today's ageing population. The complexity and ever-evolving nature of Neuroscience makes this subject one of the most abstract and enigmatic sciences.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
The talk will be hosted by Dr Stuart Greenhill, Senior Lecturer at Aston University. He is also Associate Dean for Portfolio and Planning. Upon completing his PhD in Neuropharmacology at the University of Bath, he went on to work as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Cardiff University. His research today is focused on the contribution of synaptic plasticity to a range of disease states, especially epilepsy.
