Many congratulations to Professor Peter Somogyi who has been awarded The 2011 Brain Prize of the Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Foundation.
The award of 1 million euros is shared with Prof Tamás Freund and Prof György Buzsáki for their "wide-ranging, technically and conceptually brilliant research on the functional organization of neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex, especially in the hippocampus, a region that is crucial for  certain forms of memory". Professor Somogyi will be presented with the award in Copenhagen in early May.
