Researchers at the Medical Research Council’s Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit are conducting a project exploring how our brains change in childhood, and we need some Junior Neuroscientists to help us. We are looking for children aged between 8 and 11 to take part in our study, and are hoping that you and your child will consider helping us. Participation is an exciting way of finding out about and taking part in cutting-edge science.

Before you decide whether to participate in this new study, it is important that you understand what it will involve. Please keep in mind that you are under no obligation to take part in this study. Even after agreeing to participate, you and your child are free to withdraw at any time without providing a reason.
