NEUROSCIENCE - SCIENCE OF THE BRAIN: An Introduction for Young Students

A new edition of the highly successful 'Brain Facts Booklet', created by Richard Morris (Edinburgh) and Marienne Fillenz (Oxford) in 1994, will be published this summer and distributed FREE to all members of the BNA. Primarily aimed at sixth form students or first year undergraduates, Richard Morris has managed to create a wonderfully neat and concise 'primer' of neuroscience, touching on everything from development to drug addiction. A number of leading neuroscientists in this country have risen to the challenge and contributed a chapter describing their field of expertise in a simple yet imaginative and visually appealing way. Any sixth formers or new undergraduates uncertain what to specialise in at university can't fail to be swayed by this refreshing booklet!

As part of the BNA's commitment to teaching and widening interest in neuroscience, we will be distributing a copy free of charge to all schools and sixth form colleges in the UK as well.

Further copies, either for teachers in schools or lecturers teaching on university foundation courses can order additional copies directly online (see above) or by simply contacting the BNA Office (publications@bna.org.uk; 0151 794 5449/4943)

The price will be £7.99, but for orders above 10 copies, the price will be discounted to £5.99. Remember, the more you order, the more you help the BNA!
