Neuroscience Day 2025

As ever, our much-hyped and eagerly anticipated annual Neuroscience Day was a great success this year. This packed one-day conference brought together nearly 400 colleagues from across our vast and diverse community at the University of Edinburgh.

A large number of schools, departments, centres, institutes and labs were represented as well as the full career spectrum from undergraduate student to Professor.

We were treated to a range of perspectives on topics such as:

real-world visual cognition with brain computational models
Epigenetic signatures of perinatal systemic inflammation and their relation to childhood cognition
interrogation of the neural code underlying episodic memory
the EDIFY programme (eating disorders)
the power of predictive processing by reverse-engineering biological neural networks
age-related retinal degeneration
the role of APOE4 in vascular dysfunction and cognitive impairment
metabolism in motor neuron diseases

By bringing together researchers from all corners of the University, Neuroscience Day offers a unique opportunity to enhance and foster new connections, collaborations and push interdisciplinary boundaries.
