The Hebbian principle in neuroscience describes beneficial neuronal behaviour in the brain: if you fire together, you wire together. My goal is to fire and wire this great University more closely with our city, this nation and the globe...
- Professor Irene Tracey, Vice- Chancellor

 

 


Professor Irene Tracey launches her new podcast series: Fire & Wire. Building on her goal to 'fire and wire' the University - the Hebbian principle she shared in her Admission speech - Irene will use the podcast series to highlight our communities and bring interesting Oxford stories to you.
