Use your BrainFacts

BrainFacts.org is one amazing site! The "about us" section of the site says it "is a public information initiative of The Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience, all leading global nonprofit organizations working to advance brain research."

What makes Brain Facts amazing? Check out these resources:
They also host neuroscience video contests. Although they have selected the winners for this year, you can still vote until September 26 for the "People's Choice" award! If you are teaching the brain, maybe you could have your students rank the choices and explain their rankings.

The video that was ranked #1 by the experts is a terrific sock puppet video called The Carrot - if you can't see it embedded below, go to http://youtu.be/Gk4F243EFzg
