We produce clear, simple summaries of Neuroscience research hot off the press.

They are read & reviewed by those who live beyond our labs.

Our aim is to help everyone understand the work going on so we know more & can do more.

> A little bit about us…

We’re a group of scientists, led by Dr Scott Allen, from the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience at the University of Sheffield and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre (BRC)

The aim is to let people know what is going on in the Neuroscience research field by publishing clear simple summaries of scientific papers in the motor neurone disease, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and stroke research fields.

The team has people affected by the conditions providing feedback on our summaries before they are published to make them as ‘readable’ as possible.
