Our first major initiative was developing the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, now one of the world’s leading centres for theoretical neuroscience. To take advantage of the latest developments, we have created an additional research institute, the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, which will be the focus of our long-term research funding in the UK.

The projects in our experimental research portfolio share a common goal – to understand the anatomical and functional development and operation of neural circuits that underlie behaviour.

We strongly believe that it is essential to ground experimental neuroscience in a firm theoretical context. We support research and collaboration at three world-class centres for theoretical neuroscience across the globe.

Alongside our support of research activities, we have invested in a number of strategic programmes to develop the wider neuroscience sector. These range from funding symposia series to building the capacity of organisations representing neuroscience interests.

We collaborate with like-minded organisations to enhance our impact. Strategic partnerships range from supporting capital projects for new research centres to new technology development as well as public engagement and outreach.

We partnered with Wellcome to establish this new research centre, where scientists are using state-of-the-art techniques and theoretical models to investigate how circuits in the brain process information to create neural representations and guide behaviour.
We established this unit in 1998 at University College London (UCL) to provide a unique opportunity for a critical mass of theoreticians to interact closely with each other and with UCL’s other world-class research groups in neuroscience and related areas.
We are partnering with FENS, IBRO, Bordeaux Neurocampus and the Champalimaud Foundation to support the continued development and operations of the CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme.
We are supporting the British Neuroscience Association to implement a programme of new activities to become a strong and prominent professional society for 21st century UK neuroscience.
