- Farewell 2009, Welcome 2010
- Experts Voice their Opinions as Guest Bloggers
- Following the Tech Link Train
- Shazeda Khan Appointed New Editor of Brain Blogger
- Welcome Back – New System with Tony Brown as an Editor
- Welcome back to the GNIF Brain Blogger!
As we leave 2009, we have witnessed some great successes. First and foremost, increased awareness of health and healthcare issues, popularity of the mind and brain, and realization that our knowledge of how the brain works is still in its infancy.
We at Brain Blogger have seen our readership and feed subscriptions triple from the preceding year, and we are grateful to our loyal readers. Read more →
We are seeking guest bloggers to contribute articles related to the mind-brain from any perspective. Dr. Frank MacHovec is our first guest with Is war a psychosis? He is a retired clinical psychologist teaching part-time at Piedmont Virginia Community College. He has written over 30 books, most recently Light from the East, a gathering of Asian wisdom, and Spiritual Intelligence, Behavioral Sciences, and the Humanities.
We at Brain Blogger have been officially tagged! Our volunteer technical consultant, Everton Blair of Connected Internet, listed our site on a new tag game. It focuses on technology, science, and consumer electronics sites. Everyone anticipates that the list will grow a “mile long.” Apparently, this list is a rebirth of the infamous Z-List. Hopefully, this strategy will drive more attention to matters related to the brain and mental health (i.e. to this blog). Enjoy! Read more →
To our readers: As a new editor and as an activist for public awareness, I shall be promoting knowledge in this field to its fullest extent for all to enjoy.
Currently, I am studying psychology at Baruch College in New York City. Psychology has long been an area of passionate intrigue for me; with its palette of varying concepts it piqued my curiosity last year. As a result it sparked an unquenchable desire to learn more about this area and the developing field of neuroscience, weighing with particular emphasis on the latter. Read more →
Welcome back to Brain Blogger! Thanks to the generous volunteerism of computer expert Everton Blair, we have dramatically improved the look, feel, layout, and functionality of this news resource. As an official project of the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation, our mission remains to inform — and, yes, educate – the general public on the mental health and neurological disorders. But, this resource extends much beyond those fields and incorporates the latest exciting news in neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurology from multidimensional — biological, psychological, and sociological — perspectives.

Welcome back to Brain Blogger. A few things have changed since your last visit, the most apparent being that I am your new host Tony Brown. First of all, I would like to thank the former host and project co-founder Ray McIntyre, who, along with our Executive Director Shaheen Lakhan, did a great job in making this project happen. These two guys were able to take an idea and turn it into action, faster than a basal ganglia! Good job guys and thanks for setting the bar so high. Read more →
