Get comfortable whilst I warm up the neurotoxin emitters

Roland Jones (Professor of Neuropharmacology)
Information processing by neuronal networks in our brain allows us to instinctively avoid danger, pain and death posed by creatures that produce poisons and toxins that can severely harm us. And yet, these substances have been vital to our basic understanding of how that information processing occurs. Roland will discuss some of the weird and wonderful toxins that have allowed us understand chemical and electrical activity in the brain.
