How do the recent developments in neuroscience affect psychology and society? Today, many new findings challenge the way we think about ourselves and others. These changes impact on how we should think about issues such as the self, mentality, psychology, free will, morale, law and society. Through interviews of prominent scholars in the fields of neuroscience and beyond, the BrainEthics Podcast provides updated, novel and comprehensive news and views from the world of neuroscience, and how the world responds to it. We provide a full list of all podcast episodes. Although we are hosting all episodes, you can also subscribe to the podcast on all major podcasting directories.

Network that brings together researchers in imaging genomics, to understand brain structure and function, based on MRI, DTI, fMRI and genomewide association scan (GWAS) data. The ENIGMA Network has several goals: * to create a network of like-minded individuals, interested in pushing forward the field of imaging genetics * to ensure promising findings are replicated via member collaborations, in order to satisfy the mandates of most journals * to share ideas, algorithms, data, and information on promising findings or methods * to facilitate training, including workshops and conferences on key methods and emerging directions in imaging genetics. Data sharing with other members of the ENIGMA Network is optional and by no means a requirement of joining the network. Genetics and Imaging Protocols are available.

The primary mission of the Nancy Lurie Marks (NLM) Family Foundation is to help people with autism lead fulfilling and rewarding lives. The Foundation is committed to understanding autism from a scientific perspective, increasing opportunities and services available to the autism community and educating the public about autism. In pursuit of its mission, the Foundation develops and provides grants to programs in research, clinical care, policy, advocacy and education. Founded by Nancy Lurie Marks over 25 years ago, the NLM Family Foundation is one of the largest supporters of initiatives in these areas. The principal goal of the scientific program is to achieve a deeper understanding of the biological basis of autism, focusing on genetics, synaptic chemistry, the neurobiology of communication, systems biology and the physiology of movement. The Foundation funds peer-reviewed research, the development of collaborative investigator projects, and research fellowship programs. Through sponsorship of scientific conferences, symposia and workshops, the Foundation seeks to encourage innovation and provide a springboard to generate new avenues of shared inquiry. The NLM Family Foundation supports programs which focus on novel ways to improve the communication and social abilities of those with autism. Other programs are designed to increase advocacy for legal rights and access to support services for persons with autism, and to increase community understanding and openness to inclusion through education and documentary films.

The human brain has the remarkable ability to adapt in response to changes in the environment over the course of a lifetime. This is the mechanism for learning, growth, and normal development. Similar changes or adaptations can also occur in response to focal brain injuries, e.g., partially-adapted neighboring brain regions or functionally-related brain systems can either substitute for some of the lost function or develop alternative strategies to overcome a disability. Through ongoing research, the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory''s mission is to: * Reveal the perceptual and cognitive aspects of music processing including the perception and memory for pitch, rhythmic, harmonic, and melodic stimuli. * Investigate the use of music and musical stimuli as an interventional tool for educational and therapeutic purposes. * Reveal the behavioral and neural correlates of learning, skill acquisition, and brain adaptation in response to changes in the environment or brain injury in the developing and adult brain. * Reveal the determinants and facilitators for recovery from brain injury. Project topics include: Aphasia Therapy, Singing and Speaking, Tone Deafness / Congenital Amusia, Motor Recovery Studies, Music and Emotions, Music and Autism, Children and Music Making, Brain Stimulation, Adult Musician Studies, Absolute Pitch Studies, Acute Stroke Studies

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 4th, 2023. Mouse brains displayed in the Microsoft Silverlight PivotViewer from the Mouse Brain Library (MBL) which consist of high-resolution images of brains from many genetically characterized strains of mice. PivotViewer makes it easier to interact with massive amounts of data on the web in ways that are powerful, informative, and fun. By visualizing thousands of related items at once, users can see trends and patterns that would be hidden when looking at one item at a time. Because PivotViewer leverages Deep Zoom, it displays full, high-resolution content without long load times, while the animations and natural transitions provide context and prevent users from feeling overwhelmed by large quantities of information. This simple, inviting interaction model encourages exploration and longer audience engagement times, and applies broadly to a variety of content types.
