Professor of Developmental Neuroscience and Tutor for Human Anatomy @UniofOxford. Cerebral cortical development and evolution.
Body, Brain, Behavior Three Views and a Conversation Authors: Tamas Horvath, Joy Hirsch, Zoltán Molnár Describes the state-of-the-art in brain research, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between the brain and peripheral organs. elsevier.com/books/body-bra…
My STEP inTO OxMed talk "INTRODUCTION TO BRAIN DEVELOPMENT" is for 14-17 year old secondary school/ sixth form students this Friday. stepintooxmed.com
Collaborative work between the Mann and Molnár Groups at @OxfordDPAG have studied a small group of specialized brain cells to investigate how they play a powerful role in keeping us alert and helping our brains process sensory information (doi.org/10.3389/fnana.…).
Congratulations to Florina Szabó (@StJohnsOx) who defended her DPhil Thesis this month. Thanks goes to the examiners Prof @nicolkessaris (UCL) and Prof Simon Butt (@Interneuron_Dev; @OxfordDPAG); to @anat_soc for funding and to Dr Anna Hoerder-Suabedissen for co-supervising.
We would like to say thanks to Hannah Webb and Lyndsay Murray; @StJohnsOx and @OxfordDPAG; and Molnar Lab (dpag.ox.ac.uk/research/molna…) who helped with registration, badges, assembling the conference bags and guiding participants. More: dpag.ox.ac.uk/news/anatomica…
Congrats to the chairs and co-organizers of the AS Summer Meeting 2025 at @UniofOxford @ZoltanMolnar64,Dr Gavin Clowry, @MurrayLabEd,Hannah Webb & everybody else who helped organize & run this meeting 👏 Thanks for following our SM updates! See you in December at @AngliaRuskin 🤩
We heard about the portrait of John Case (1539-1600 yesterday from @StJohnsOx President on the @anat_soc Gala Dinner. I re-post this earlier description for those who are still interested to learn more about this "curious specimen".
The portrait of John Case (1539-1600) generated interesting discussions with my colleagues that we published in the latest issue of TW annual St John's College, Oxford, magazine, named after our Founder, Sir Thomas White. sjc.ox.ac.uk/documents/SJCO…

Why wait until the damage is done? Our new paper highlights how many brain and mental health disorders begin before birth — yet most funding still targets late-life neurodegeneration. It’s time to invest in prevention. 🔗 doi.org/10.1159/000546…
Gala dinner of @corticaldev2025
初の国際学会終了しました！ ありがたいことに、ハーバードやオックスフォードなど数ある有名ビックラボの優秀な学生の中から「最優秀賞」を受賞させていただきました🙇 非常に難しい内容を英語で議論していくに必死に追いつけるよう頑張ったこともあり、諸々評価していただきありがたいです🙇
Early bird registration will be closing soon for our summer meeting on the 14 - 16th July 2025, University of Oxford. The theme is human cerebral cortex development #AnatSocSummer25 #AnatSocOxford Early bird deadline: 23rd May

Many thanks Chiaki-sensei @Shinkeikairoke1 for the superb 30th TMiMS Meeting!
A few days back I was fortunate to contribute on the 30th TMiMS symposium in Tokyo🎌. Great research, better researchers, best people! Many thanks Chiaki Maruyama!
Thank you @PhyloBrain, you kept going for the most fundamental questions of brain evolution in spite of all the difficulties over the last two decades.
Here, @ZoltanMolnar64 closed the symposium reminding us that basic research funding must not be directed towards sakura flowers🌸only , let's take care of the life of the tree!
A collaborative study from the Molnár, Mann, Bannerman and Lak laboratories has uncovered a previously overlooked population of brain cells that could play a critical role in how we experience stress and anxiety - doi.org/10.1038/s41398…). Read more dpag.ox.ac.uk/news/molnar-ma…
