Neuropursuit Championship


Following a long and distinguished history (celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2006), the Centre for Neuroscience was proud to present the 2007 Neuropursuit Championship! Under the auspices of Grand Quizmaster Ian Gibbins (with more than a passing nod to "Good News Week"), two teams vied for the coveted (and extremely elaborate) Neuropursuit Trophy, thus demonstrating to all neuroscientists, far and wide, that they have more obscure neuro-facts packed into their cerebrums than any other beings on the planet (sentient or otherwise!).

The Neuropursuit Championship is held every year following the CNS Annual General Meeting
and in 2007 congratulations went to all those in Team Two!
