Whether Foramen of Monro, Bell’s Palsy or Morris Maze, neuroscientists around the world use words and methods developed in Edinburgh and the city remains a major centre of neuroscience.

Guided by a neuroscientist and accredited tourist guide Dr Thomas H Bak we will address these and other questions, passing through places of historical interest and contemporary activity.
