Howdy fellow brain enthusiasts,
Has your brain been out to lunch all summer? Here is a collection of related news articles to feast on from the New York Times in the past several months:
This a review of a new book on gender-related neuroscience research:
Peeling Away Theories on Gender and the Brain
Dr. Cushing's recently re-organized collection of brain specimens reminds us how far the field of neurosurgery has come:
Inside Neurosurgery's Rise
A well known researcher in animal behavior may have published invalid data:
Inquiry Into Harvard Lab Threatens Ripple Effect
Harvard Researcher May Have Fabricated Data
Discovery of tool marks on bone provide evidence that hominids used tools some 800,000 year earlier than previously thought:

Finding Suggests New Aim for Alzheimer's Drugs
The widely accepted theory of kin selection is called into question:
Scientists Square Off on Evolutionary Value of Helping Relatives
Athletes diagnosed with Lu Gehrig's may actually be suffering from something else:
Study Says Brain Trauma Can Mimic A.L.S
Several scientists are interested in how the heavy use of technology impacts the brain:
