We are physical creatures, too. These sites will provide insight into what we are learning about the body — especially the brain.
Last Updated: October 17, 1998 Basic Neural Processes Tutorials The Brain - Views of the brain from several angles from the Levit Radiologic Pathologic Institute. The Brain (Newton's Apple) — A few facts about this incredible organ. Brain May Grow New Cells Daily — October 15,1999 New research may change basic ideas about the brain and memory. Another report of the research is available from MSNBC. The Brain in Health and Disease — By Michael Rebhan, this site focuses on recent developments in the understanding, treatment and diagnosis of brain disorders (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, schizophrenia, drug addiction, etc.). Includes information about major principles underlying the development of brain diseases, including a glossary, news articles, and links to brain science sites (news, databases, discussions, clinical trials, drugs, organizations, meetings, jobs for neuroscientists, pictures and videos). Brain Mapping (Newton's Apple) — A few facts about early, and current, efforts to map the brain. BrainPoke! — Incredibly neat! Tell the surgeon where to poke the brain. See the effect. Brain Awareness Week 1998 — You missed it, but this is an ongoing project. Center for Human Simulation Cerebral Cortex I — More detail about neurons than you will probably ever need, but a great source of information. Cerebral Cortex II — More detail about the structure of the cortex and the functions of the cortical lobes, than you will probably ever need, but a great source of information. The Columbia Virtual Body — Columbia/HCA Healthcare provides elaborate presentations on a variety of systems of the body including the brain, digestive system, heart and skeleton. You must have the Macromedia Shockwave Player Plugin installed on your computer. Comparative Mammalian Brain Collection — Major national resources for the study of brain anatomy from The National Museum of Health and Medicine,The University of Wisconsin, and Michigan State University. EEG COURSE and GLOSSARY — Brain waves and what they indicate. Epilepsy — Causes of epilepsy and seizures. Preview The Heart — Discover the inner workings of this vital organ. The L.A. Times Brain Page - Has several interesting brain facts and links. The Nervous System — Designed for use in a Human Anatomy and Physiology class, these pages describe various parts of the nervous system, including the Peripheral and Autonomic Nervous Systems, the Brain, the Spinal Cord, Neurons, and Reflexes. The Nervous System — Explore the nervous system, with a little help from Jay Doc and your other friends at KU Med school. The Nervous System — Yet another page that describes the nervous system, but includes some good photographs. Slow to load. Neural Functioning Neurolab Online — NeurOn (Neurolab Online) is a project that invites classrooms around the world to join NASA personnel on Neurolab space shuttle mission, STS-90, which launched April, 17, and landed May 3, 1998. NeurOn Background — President George Bush and the Congress of the United States declared the 1990s to be the "Decade of the Brain." The Neurolab mission will conduct brain research to study neurological and behavioral changes in space. Neuroscience for Kids - Don't let the "for Kids" fool you. The Phrenology Page Serendip — Serendip has several pages devoted to neurophysiology. Sheep Brain Dissection: The Anatomy of Memory — An exploration of memory processes. A MegaPsych GottaSee site.
