Keep in Touch with Neuroscience Online…For Free!

In our world today, the advances being made in our understanding the workings of our nervous system, endocrine system and our minds is astonishing. While this information is beneficial for the academic and research scientist, it is also beneficial to many of us for these advances will impact our individual lives (e.g. in terms of medication) and even our greater society. To be an information participant in our society requires an ability to engage in a discussion involving basic neurological topics, and importantly, being able to stay informed about neurological advances. Fortunately, there a number of websites where information about these new advances can be accessed directly, or at least, is being discussed or presented in an abbreviated manner (for the popular audience).

Listed below are a number of freely accessible websites. This list is by no means exhaustive (and may be updated frequently), but these are the ones that I find consistently useful. Enjoy!
