My broadband connection was down for the whole day yesterday, so I was unable to link to the latest edition of Encephalon, which is now up at Of Two Minds and is, apparently, hosted by none other than Paris Hilton.
As usual, this edition includes some fantastic entries from some of the best neuroscience and psychology blogs on the web. I especially like the Neurocritic's short discussion about the practice in eastern countries of using the odour of smelly shoes to control epileptic seizures, and Jennifer's post about Rita Levi-Montalchini's discovery of nerve growth factor (NGF) and the role of neurotrophins in depression.
Go and check out Encephalon 42 - it's HAWT!

You may remember Encephalon, a biweekly neuroscience carnival, that we used to participate in regularly. Well, it kind of lapsed there for a bit because the organizer, Mo, was very understandably busy with other things.
The reignited Encephalon is up at Sharp Brains.
The 43rd Encephalon is available over at GNIF Brain Blogger. It's a fantastic collection of the best psychology and neuroscience blogging from the past two weeks.
The first issue of another neuroscience carnival called Encephalon is up.
Looking at this latest interview of Paris Hilton by Letterman, I do think he made himself come across stupid a lot more than he did Paris. He only seemed to be getting second-rate laughs at her cost.
