Today's Neuroscience, Tomorrow's History - Professor Richard Frackowiak

Supported by a Wellcome Trust Public Engagement grant (2006-2008) in the History of Medicine to Professor Tilli Tansey (QMUL) and Professor Leslie Iversen (Oxford), the History of Modern Biomedicine Research Group at Queen Mary, University of London presents a series of podcasts on the history of neuroscience featuring eminent people in the field: Professor Richard Frackowiak was born in London and studied medicine at the University of Cambridge where he first became interested in the neurosciences. He joined the Medical Research Council's Cyclotron Unit at Hammersmith Hospital, London, in 1979, under Professor Terry Jones, who had just installed one of Britain's first Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners.Professor Frackowiak has always worked in brain imaging and his particular focus has been on determing how the normal brain functions, and how individuals' activities and environments collaborate to shape their brains. In 1995, as Professor of Cognitive Neurology at UCL's Inst
