Local Groups
The BNA represents UK neuroscience. We have established a network of Local Group Representatives at universities across the UK who are engaged in neuroscience research. This network acts as a conduit for information between their universities and the BNA. Their contact details, as well as relevant links to their websites can be found below.
To find out more about the BNA Local Group Representative network, how to obtain sponsorship for your seminar series, how to nominate a neuroscientist and lay person for a BNA Award and how to advertise your neuroscience news to the BNA community, contact your Local Group Representative.
If your Institution is not currently represented by a BNA Local Rep and you would like to appoint one then please contact Dr Trevor Bushell (pictured left) at trevor.bushell@strath.ac.uk.
