Nature vs. Nurture: Scientific Models and Their Importance to Neurological Conditions
Scientific models are useful scientific tools to reduce complex phenomena into more simplistic terms. One such example is the nature versus nurture debate, which asks whether it’s our innate genes or our environment that defines who we are. This debate has since ended for the most part but it serves as an important example as to how scientific models are crucial for the advancement of our collective example.

Imaging Technology and Techniques: How Do They Work, Why Are They Used, and How Are They Relevant to Neurological Conditions?
Imaging techniques help researchers and clinicians to gain a better understanding of anatomy and physiology. Many different technologies exist that provide clinicians images into the many different components of the human body, and they serve different purposes for different patients. There are many, including MRIs, CT, PET and SPECT scans, x-rays, ultrasounds, and EEGs.
The Most Complicated Object in the Universe and Why Recognizing the Complexity of the Brain Illuminates the Conversation Around Researching Diseases Such as Alzheimer’s and Epilepsy
Our brain is how we experience the world and our lives as thinking, conscious, sentient multi-cellular organisms. Our brain is what allows “us,” whatever “we” are, to sense and perceive the world our bodies occupy. We might all agree that the brain is complex, but this fleshy organ in our skulls is not just complex.
Therapeutic Approaches to Treating ALS
While the current state of ALS therapeutics is lacking, there remain several different approaches that have been proposed and are being investigated. These approaches fit within three different classifications: Pharmacological, gene, and stem cell therapy.
Power Naps for Creativity
