Brain and mind research at Edinburgh

Edinburgh Neuroscience connects a community of 600 brain and mind researchers at the University of Edinburgh. We foster a collaborative and collegiate network, linking researchers across hundreds of labs, disciplines and departments. Encompassing the study of the human brain from conception to old age, in disease and in health, we combine expertise to drive forward advances in research to improve health outcomes for all. 

Our research

Edinburgh Neuroscience is widely recognised for its extensive integration of outstanding clinical, biomedical, informatics and psychology research. Our key themes:

Neurodevelopment and Neurodiversity

Mental Health and Mental Wealth

Ageing, Degeneration and Regeneration

Collage of science images (cells) and people in labs

The blog is a space where we share ideas, comments, reports, and profiles to spark debate, stimulate conversation, or spotlight the lesser known. It brings with it an opportunity to give a louder voice to our community on topics of their own choice, be it on funding, pedagogy, research culture, life as an ECR, work-life balance... within our own disciplines and beyond.
