Abstract

On November 20-21 2023, the Royal Society in London hosted a landmark scientific meeting led by Professor Wickliffe C Abraham, Professor Timothy VP Bliss, Professor Graham L Collingridge, and Professor Richard GM Morris. The conference, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the discovery of Long-Term Potentiation, focused on discussing the latest research and developments in the field of synaptic plasticity. We have invited former presidents of the British Neuroscience Association, Professor Graham Collingridge CBE FRS and Professor Richard Morris CBE FRS, for interviews.

Keywords: British Neuroscience Association; Memory; long-term potentiation; neuroscience; synaptic plasticity.
