Brain Blogger

About Us

Let Your Imagination Explore Brain Blogger is an award winning blog that covers topics from multidimensional biopsychosocial perspectives. We review the latest news and research related to neuroscience/neurology, psychology/psychiatry, and health/healthcare. Our blog serves as a focal point for attracting new minds beyond the basic sciences of the mind-and-brain and into the biopsychosocial model.

This project is an official undertaking of the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation (GNIF) — a major international non-profit charity organization for the advancement of neurological and mental health patient welfare, education, and research.

Brain Blogger We are proud to be a member of the 9rules Network and the Scientific American Partner Network — a handful of selected blogs that share similar interests and readership. Also, we are certified by HONcode — the oldest and the most used ethical and trustworthy code for medical and health related information available on Internet.
