Neuroscience News

I disabled a few of the features to the site to allow for the Reddit traffic increase. I’m guessing they will all be back up in less than 24 hours. Thanks for the patience.

We got hit by a wave of traffic from our great Reddit.com friends so the site is acting up a bit. I’m working on reducing some of the load. Thanks for the visits and patience!

I’ve changed the logo for the day to reflect our views regarding SOPA, PIPA and HR 3699 / RWA.

The wife and I debated whether to take the sites down, but we went with the banner change and supportive posts instead.

If any of our members believes we should pull the site down for the day to show more support, please let me know soon.

There are lot of good resources online regarding the protests and proposed changes. Find sources you trust and maybe a few you don’t and get informed.

Thank you!

I’ve changed the background color from grey to white for the majority of the page. I think it looks a little better. Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

I’m working on quite a few other small changes that should make the site a little less ugly (I won’t win any design awards here) and hopefully a lot more user friendly.

As usual, any and all suggestions are welcome.

I’m hoping that I can bring in some guest writers and bloggers for 2012. I’m not sure if anyone out there is interested in hosting their neuroscience views here. Send me a message if you are interested in getting your article, blog or paper posted on the site.

Here is a great video about memories from Dr. Eric Kandel.

I created the new page Neurological Disorders thanks to a great suggestion by @abdlzizk. I used a list from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the National Institute of Health.

The new page is listed on the navigation menu above and can be viewed here: http://neurosciencenews.com/neurological-disorders-symptoms-neurological-diseases/ .

If anyone has anything to add to the page, or has other suggestions to improve the site, please let me know.

Thank you again @abdlzizk!

I made a few more changes to the layout. If you experience any problems in any areas, please let me know ASAP.

I also want to apologize for the slow pace. I’ve been very ill for a few months now, but I think I’m improving. I have a second month of antibiotics starting tomorrow, so hopefully I’m getting better and not evolving superbugs inside.

I’ll explain more later if I’m feeling sappy. Thank you all for your patience, reading and for joining up!

Take care out there.

I’m working on a few small changes to the layout tonight. I’ll be experimenting with fonts, spacing, buttons and a few minor annoyances that have cropped up.

If you have any problems or suggestions, please let me know by replying to this or in a message from your ”My Account” / ”Messages” area from the drop down at the very top of the page (must be active member and logged in).

Thank you all for joining up and for you patience!

I just rearranged a few modules on the Neuroscience News homepage and added a few links to inner pages to make the site look a little better.

I’m experimenting with the site tonight in hopes of lowering some of the CPU usage on our server.

The layout may seem to magically rearrange itself, but rest assured it is only me tinkering around with the site.

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions send a message to me and I’ll get right back to you.

Your patience is much appreciated.
