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.
We are delighted to welcome Petra Pavel to the Unit. She is currently a 2nd year medical student from the Medical University of Targu Mures, Romania.
She joins Professor Peter Somogyi’s lab for a short visit working on a project on the axonal and dendritic distribution of physiologically recorded ivy cells, the most numerous GABAergic interneuron in the rat hippocampus.
