Alvaro has kindly agreed to take over as organizer of Encephalon, the neuroscience carnival which I started back in August 2006. He has set up a new homepage for the carnival, and will be hosting the next edition this coming Monday at SharpBrains. If you'd like to contribute, send permalinks to your neuroscience and/or psychology blog posts to encephalon{dot}host{at}gmail{dot}com.

Hi,
there's no such thing as a "brain" transplant- and there never will be. Logically, when you wake up from such an operation, you'd consider yourself to have had a "body" transplant.

Hey Mo, if, after the transplant, your brain doesn't work as well as I expect, do I have a 30-day money back guarantee:-)
Looking forward many more editions of the great carnivals you created and nurtured!
