UCL Neuroscience Domain

The UCL Neuroscience Domain brings together all UCL neuroscientists to tackle the most important questions about how the nervous system works. We seek to make fundamental discoveries about brain function and behaviour, to teach and train the next generation of scientists and clinicians, and to transform our ability to diagnose and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders.
