I just wanted to plug something else on ScienceBlogs really quick. Chris Chatham at Developing Intelligence is running a multi-part series on the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The prefrontal cortex is the part of the brain that is responsible for what neuroscientists call "executive functions." Executive functions are things like planning and not acting like a jackass.
Anyway, since I just moved to a lab that studies the PFC, I am really enjoying his posts.
Yesterday he gave a introductory piece and today he explores neural cascades. Definitely worth the read.
