Neurodudes reader John sent us this nice link to a high-resolution online atlas with human, macaque, and mouse brains.
I haven’t explored the site very much, but the quality seems very impressive and you really can’t beat the price. It also looks like the authors are planning to expand the atlas soon and have already started building desktop tools for easy 2D and 3D navigation. Thanks, John!
Here’s a database of ideas from biology that might be useful for engineering.

(about)
Myomancy is my blog on research into ADHD, dyslexia and autism. Its aim is to take the scientific research and make it accessible for parents, sufferers and educators. My background is in computers but my interest in nueroscience comes from a lifetime of trying to understand how my dyslexic brain was different from everyone else. This interest grew into a hobby and it now threatens to become semi-professional involvement following my successful dyslexia treatment and the lauch on Myomancy.

I [Eric Thomson] have started a new blog for discussion of Hille’s classic Ion Channels of Excitable Membranes:

Participate, tell your friends, get the book.
[From Neville: Just a note for the guest posters. It's fine to promote neuroscience-related materials (well, nothing overtly commercial... unless it's *really* cool). Still, if you're making a guest post -- something which we encourage and have directions on how to do on the right sidebar of the screen -- please put your name in the post. If you feel so inclined, it also wouldn't hurt to put in a few sentences about where you're from and your relation to the field -- ie. grad student, postdoc, industry, prof, regular guy or girl interested in brain stuff, etc. Thanks!]
