Maintained by Seed's editors, web editors, and the other people who make Seed tick, Page 3.14 points you in the direction of some of ScienceBlogs' finest offerings, plus the tastiest tidbits of science news and opinion from around the web.
On July 1, ScienceBlogs welcomed a new addition: Neurophilosophy, by Moheb Costandi.
Science writer, Englishman, and former student of developmental neurobiology (and future student of neuroscience) Costandi covers all matters brain-related, with special attention to good stories from history. Recent posts at Neurophilosophy discuss Dostoevsky's epilepsy and the extraordinary case of Phineas Gage, whose nearly-fatal 1848 injury by a piece of railroad equipment turned him into a neurological curiosity as fascinating as those brought to the page by Oliver Sacks.
Head over and say hello. Don't forget to admire Neurophilosophy's five roating blog headers; my favorite is a spoof of an art deco-era patent medicine label.
Comments
Neurophilosophy is one great neuro blog. I really appeals to anyone interested in neuroscience and/or philosophy by presenting current hot topics in a historical perspective. I have yet to see a post that just gets a "Meh", which is saying alot for science blogs, which tend to get over-specialized and jargon-heavy.
