Bristol is home to a large and diverse neuroscience community.  

Bristol Neuroscience - BN - was founded by the University of Bristol in 2003 with the broad aim to enable neuroscientists working in Bristol, but at separate sites, to make full use of the resources of expertise and facilities within the University and its partner hospitals.

To meet this aim, BN runs numerous activities to raise awareness of the extent and range of neuroscience in Bristol, encourage crosstalk, create opportunities for interdisciplinary research, and enable the neuroscience community to strategically work together and plan for the future.

BN therefore maintains a supportive environment for effective research - from first principles through to advances in clinical care.

BN works in parallel with the departmental hierarchy of the University and represents one of the University's major research 'Themes'. It is affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Studies, has close links to the local NHS Trusts NBT, UBHT and AWP, and - following the 2005 launch of the Bristol-Cardiff Neuroscience collaboration - BN works in partnership with the Cardiff Neurosciences Centre.

This site will inform you of all aspects of BN as well as provide a source of help and information for the neuroscientists working here. 

To navigate around the site, please follow the links in the menus above and on the left, or use the dropdown 'quicklinks' on the top right.  Enjoy exploring the site!

"As Vice Chancellor it has been a source of great pride for me to cite our neuroscience research programme as an example of this University's research excellence. 

I am delighted to lend my support to Bristol Neuroscience which is bringing all our neuroscience research groups together to ensure Bristol's continuing reputation as a major international centre of excellence in the neurosciences. 

I am grateful to all of the members of Bristol Neuroscience for their enthusiasm and look forward to more exciting developments in the future."

Professor Eric Thomas
