Brain Project

Research by leading neuroscientists has led to an expanded understanding
of how the human brain develops throughout childhood and adolescence.
Through public awareness and training The Brain Project works to ensure
that those who work with and on behalf of children and adolescents better
understand the relationship between brain biology and the impacts of life
experiences on the developing brain.

Website of the Month - July 2009 Columbia Univesity Medical Center, Program for Imaging and Cognitive Sciences (PICS)
	There has been a lot of conversation recently, i.e., CBS’s 60 Minutes, June 28th, about advances in fMRI research. Scientists can track which parts of the brain are active when we “think” specific thoughts. The scientific and ethical questions are significant. The site identified above is relatively complicated, but worth the effort. You might want to begin with the article, “Oliver Sacks and Joy Hirsch in Annals of Neurology.” http://www.fmri.org/ Website of the Month Archives
