We want to know how the brain works
We seek to understand neural information processing by the central and peripheral nervous systems at several different levels of analysis, and to use that understanding to guide the development of novel therapeutic approaches to disorders of the nervous system.

Edinburgh ranks well
If you’re thinking of joining us as a postdoc or Ph.D student, you may be interested to know that the University of Edinburgh now ranks 5th in the country, according to a respected and objective list published by the London Times. It ranks after Oxbridge, Imperial and University College London, and well ahead of all the other Scottish Universities. In a separate QS ranking published in September 2010, Edinburgh ranks 22nd in the world, being one of only a few UK Universities in the top 50 Universities of the world.
