The inaugural meeting of a Special Interest Group for Neuroscience in Psychiatry was held at the meeting of the College in Glasgow in 1995, chaired by Professor Stuart Checkley.

The following statement has been prepared for the group to announce its existence and stimulate discussion of its aims.

The mission of the group will be to promote the application of neuroscience to the core problems of aetiology and treatment in psychiatry. The term neuroscience encapsulates those aspects of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, genetics and psychology which contribute mutually to an improved understanding of how the brain functions in health and disease.
