Neurobiology
Convenor: Lynne Sneddon , The University of Chester
Deputy Convenor: Peter Hubbard, The University of the Algarve
Neurobiology is a truly integrative science comprising molecular, genetic, neuroanatomical , physiological and behavioural approaches to understanding nervous system functioning at multiple levels of organisation. Events at the cellular level through to whole animal behaviour provide a holistic view of the neurobiology of all animal groups. Traditional methods of measuring nervous system responses using imaging, histology, and electrophysiology are combined with contemporary genomic and genetic techniques to elucidate causal mechanisms of animal behaviour. As a multidisciplinary group, neurobiology attracts scientists from a wide range of fields including anatomy, behaviour, comparative physiology, psychology, genetics and zoology.
The ultimate aim of the neurobiology group is to engage a diverse array of scientists who adopt different approaches with a common goal of addressing current topics in neuroscience.
