From centuries-old engravings to images of individual neurons, join us in a richly illustrated talk of the changing perceptions of the brain. Contestable theories behind past and present research are examined, especially that of ‘mapping’ specific functions to particular areas of this complex organ.

Speakers:
Ruth Milne, Wellcome Images
