User:Gareth Leng

I am Gareth Leng, a neuroscientist/physiologist working in the UK[[1]].

I moved to the University of Edinburgh in 1994 to take up the newly-established Chair of Experimental Physiology. Before then I worked at the Babraham Institute, Cambridge UK.

From 1993-2000 I was a member of the Editorial Board of The Journal of Physiology, and for the first two years of that period was Press Secretary for the Journal, and a Committee member of the Physiological Society. I was editor-in-chief of The Journal of Neuroendocrinology from 1997 to 2004. I am currently a member of the editorial boards of Cognitive Processing and Neuroendocrinology.

My research has been mainly on the hypothalamic control of hormone secretion, and has mainly involved electrophysiological studies of neurones and networks, but has involved some computational modeling, studies of gene expression, and studies of behaviour.
