Darwin Does Encephalon

Posted by dlende on July 7, 2008

In honor of the 150th anniversary of Darwin’s presentation of the theory of natural selection before the Linnean Society, and the 4th of July, Neuroscientifically Challenged has given us Encephalon #49 Celebrates Indepedence (from Lamarckism).

Given the evolution theme, we have Brain Stimulant discusses gene therapy in psychiatry, Cognitive Daily on attractive voices, Neurophilosophy on the brain’s adaptability (in this case, re-organizing after a stroke), Sharp Brains on something Darwin would have loved–walking book clubs, and the Winding Path on the co-evolution of brain and culture with some complex social interaction added.

And even more than that, so check it out! It might even help you evolve.
