Now on ScienceBlogs: The 1/6th People
An exploration of the serious/fun/ridiculous - past/present/future of the brain and the science that loves it.
The Omnibrain is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, The Omnibrain is a real graduate student at a real school somewhere in the continental United States - or maybe Europe.

Yeah--
I have been wearing it on a great shirt for a couple of years.
You could/can buy it on threadless.
Neuroscientists always feel challenged to make sense of the network of dots on it and wonder about the 'flower' in the cerebellum.

Here's the direct link to the shirt 'Who am I'

The first two dots, at least, seem like they'd be involved in a reward pathway (and you could wave your hands for the third dot too, I suppose). If you re-interpret the flower as the Sun, then the cerebellum's role in arousal would kick in, and that'd make sense :)
