This research suggests that neuronal variety within a single person may be partly due to “jumping genes” which change their position from cell to cell.

Using Yahoo Pipes, we combined neuro/ai/cog-related RSS feeds from many sources into one, sometimes filtering along the way so as to minimize offtopic posts:
Ultimate neurodudes RSS feed (relatively inclusive version)
Feeds are periodically added and subtracted, but hopefully reflects the blogrolls below (but doesn't yet -- it's still under construction), except for those feeds which Yahoo Pipes had trouble processing, a list of which can be seen by checking the Pipe page.
Bayle's working on Google Reader bundles for neuroscience journals, and other neuro feeds. Like the Ultimate Neurodudes Feed, these are heavily under construction, and probably aren't very good yet.
Here's a neurodudes' friend feed on Twitter, which follows a bunch of people who often post interesting material.
