About Us

Brain Blogger is an award winning biomedical 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 into the biopsychosocial model.

Our History & Partnerships

Founded in 2005 by Dr. Shaheen Lakhan and Mr. Ray McIntyre, Brain Blogger 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. It remains as one of the most effective mediums for the GNIF to raise awareness of brain-related issues.

We are a proud member of the 9rules Network and the Scientific American Partner Network — a handful of selected blogs that share similar interests and readership. Also, our commitment to ethical biomedical journalism is exemplified by successfully undergoing voluntary certification by HONcode — the oldest and the most used ethical and trustworthy code for medical and health related information available on Internet. Moreover, we are a member of the Healthcare Blogger Code of Ethics.

We have recently partnered with the International Archives of Medicine — a leading journal covering all aspects of medicine — to bring you the latest research findings in neurology, psychiatry, and general medicine. Brain Blogger editor Dr. Lakhan serves as an editorial board member for the periodical published by BioMed Central. He is also on the board of the Journal of Medical Case Reports (JMCR) published by BioMed Central as an associate editor. From this publication, we will select the most enlightening neurological case for the section Neuro Case of the Month.
