You have
reached an introductory premier to the scientific study of the
brain. These web pages are designed to give a short overview of
several aspects that involve the neurosciences. It was designed
for anyone in any discipline having an interest in the brain and
its study, and it only assumes partial knowledge of cell biology
and gross anatomy. It should be understood by senior high school
students onward.
This introduction consists of several documents and each covers
some aspect of the brain and its study, and have no preset order.
The idea is that you choose from the alphabetical index any theme
you would like to know about, and open it. If you find some
concept you don't understand, it is probably a link to another
document, where it is explained. The documents have links to
other documents so that you can go from one to the other
according to what interests you, and if you get to the end
without linking, you can go back to the index.
And as usual this site is new and still under constant
construction, if you have any comments or suggestions please drop
us a line.
Go to the alphabetical
index.
