'Selection:  the very keel on which our mental ship is built' *

A symposium in honour of Professor Peter Redgrave

Friday 30th January 2015



*William James, 1890

Professor Peter Redgrave has recently retired from a long and illustrious career in teaching and research, most latterly at the Department of Psychology in the University of Sheffield.  As a neuroscientist, his research into the basal ganglia and the role of the neurotransmitter dopamine therein has been world leading.  To celebrate this achievement, we have invited a number of Professor Redgrave's collaborators and peers from around the world to give talks which we are sure will educate and entertain us in equal measure.  You are cordially invited to join us at this event.
