The 1990s were marked by the growth of neuroscience as an area of research, including work on transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography, magnetic resonance imaging and other forms of neuroimaging. It was a time of innovation, with research centres using new methods of analysing brain function, helped by the Medical Research Council Inter-disciplinary Research Centres (MRC IRC). A “Baby Lab” for research on infant development was established bringing very young visitors to the Department.
Neuroscience became an important field linked to psychology and a new postgraduate course, the MSc in Neuroscience, was created.
