UCL awaits mayor

Plans for a new neuroscience research centre to be built at UCL have come a step closer following a vote of approval by the London Borough of Camden. The Sainsbury Wellcome Centre is a partnership between the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Wellcome Trust, and scientists at the new facility will use state-of-the-art biological and behavioural techniques, supported by computational modelling, to investigate how brain circuits process information to create neural representations and guide behaviour. The centre is due to be completed in 2014 subject to referral to the Mayor.
