Introduction
The University of Birmingham and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital have interests in a wide range of neuroscience disciplines and have made it one of their major strategic research initiatives. We have close links with groups at the University of Aston which share many of our interests in neuroscience. The neuroscience consortium is dedicated to fulfil this aim, with a view to developing Birmingham as a centre of excellence in neuroscience.
The Medical School is now organised itself into 6 Divisions, one of which is Neuroscience. The new Division brings together most of the basic and clinical neuroscience within the Medical School. The Consortium will continue to promote links between neuroscience interests throughout the Universities of Birmingham and Aston, and other neighbours.
