Edinburgh Neuroscience Public Christmas Lecture 2012

This year's Edinburgh Neuroscience Public Christmas Lecture will be held on Wednesday 12th December at 6pm in the Anatomy Lecture Theatre, Teviot Place, Edinburgh.

Madness, Genius and the Origin of the Brain

How did the capacity for thought ever arise? Why do these processes go wrong in mental illness and is there anything we can do about it? The answer to these fundamental questions is to be found in the genes and proteins that build the brain and in tracing the path from their ancient origins to the present day.
