Overview:
The British Neuroscience Association Meeting in Liverpool in April 2025 will provide many opportunities to learn about exciting developments in the field of neuroscience and forge new ideas and collaborations for future research. It also presents an opportunity for retrospection, to consider the history of neuroscience research in Liverpool which dates back at least 150 years. In this personal view, the work of two late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century researchers, Richard Caton and Charles Sherrington, perhaps the earliest neuroscientists working in Liverpool, will be considered, along with the ramifications of their work as it was disseminated locally, nationally and internationally.
