Meet Our Chief Content Editor
A central feature of human nature is to understand who we are. We strive to understand what makes us happy or sad, excited or calm, dissatisfied or content. Central to establishing why we are each unique and why we have different abilities are the activities of networks of neurons in our brains. While scientists have made much progress in understanding how the brain interprets our sensory perceptions and how it controls our muscles, there is much more that needs to be understood. Moreover, by understanding how the nervous system functions we will glean new insights into the origins of psychiatric and neurological disorders. The Brain Bunch is a great way for future neuroscientists to begin to learn about the brain and spinal cord. It uses interesting anecdotes and it provides opportunities for students interested in the nervous system to interactive with each other. I look forward to helping The Brain Bunch achieve its goals and to following their progress in the next few years.
