Brain Imaging Technology: Observing Our Brain At Work by Bob Sylwester - Recent advances in computerized imaging technology have made it possible to observe brain activity in very specific brain regions. In his February column, Dr. Robert Sylwester explains how this technology has revolutionized brain and mind research, and the diagnosis and treatment of many brain-related diseases.
Brain Teasers: BrainConnection Brain Teasers help develop the fundamentals necessary for language, listening, reading, and learning, by working the neural pathways associated with these skills. Look for new exercises such as Letter Pop, Phonic Match, and Dress the Doggie.
