This is an historical archive of the activities of the MRC Anatomical Neuropharmacology Unit (MRC ANU) that operated at the University of Oxford from 1985 until March 2015. The MRC ANU established a reputation for world-leading research on the brain, for training new generations of scientists, and for engaging the general public in neuroscience. The successes of the MRC ANU are now built upon at the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit at the University of Oxford.
The MRC has published a booklet entitled 'The Brain', targetted at the general public. This booklet explores what the brain is, how it works, and how MRC-funded research is helping us to understand more about it. Unit members can obtain printed copies from the Unit reception.
