Welcome to Brain Stories

Curious about the brain? About behavior and experiences/feelings, your own and other people's? There's lots on Serendip to help you think about such things, and to encourage you to develop new understandings and new questions about them, including a whole section on Brain and Behavior and another on Mental Health. And, of course, there are new observations being made all of the time, reported in professional journals, newspapers, magazines, books, and on the web.


Brain and Behavior Resources

An evolving list to update other materials on Serendip, including Brain and Behavior Web Resources. Begun July, 2008. Suggestions for additions welcome in the on-line forum area below or by email to Paul Grobstein.
