WELCOME
NeuroReview is a reviews journal that brings together the neuroscience
community at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and UCL.
NeuroReview's aim is to combine the efforts of established academics and
young researchers to provide a forum for writing and thinking about the
brain sciences.
NeuroReview attempts to analyse the underlying assumptions of the enterprise
of modern neuroscience and provides an opportunity for stocktaking and
reflection.
