Raindrops on Roses by leobaby 727 on Flickr Some selected posts from others in Research Blogging that I found of particular interest (thank you fellow bloggers):
In honor of the Oscars®, here is a neuro-movie review about a movie that came out in 2006 — Wordplay (here’s the link to the official site, and the link to the Rotten Tomatoes site). (Yes, it was out in 2006, so I’m a year late. ) This post will ultimately be about hemispheric...
