This afternoon academic symposium complements the ‘Brain Diaries’ exhibition and event programme organised by Oxford’s Museum of Natural History in partnership with Oxford Neuroscience.

Throughout your life, your brain undergoes extraordinary changes, and makes you the person you are. The Brain Diaries exhibition and event programme reveal how the latest neuroscience is transforming what we know about our brains, from birth to the end of life. The exhibition runs until 1 January 2018.

The symposium programme below showcases some of the neuroscience research going on in Oxford.There will be an opportunity after the symposium to enjoy a private view of the exhibition and attend the launch reception.
