In neuroscience, we spend most of our time trying to understand the function of the “normal” brain — whatever that means — hence, we are most interested in the average. Under most occasions when scientists take an interest in the abnormal neurology, it is usually someone with who has something wrong with them — has […]
Scicurious is always thrilled to receive books in the mail, and this one was rather eagerly awaited. Given the frequent controversy that Chris Mooney and Sheril Kirshenbaum routinely incite on their blog, The Intersection, the book was bound to be controversial at the very least. And indeed, before Sci had even gotten her little paws […]

Ok, there’s a big furor going on around Scienceblogs over some truly disgusting ads in the side bars for thing like Thai women and Russian brides and chelation therapy. Sci would like to take this opportunity to state that Neurotopia in no way approves of these ads. However, I haven’t really seen them popping up […]
