1). Gender Bias in Stroke Care By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
I can't think of any adequate excuse for women to receive medical care that is less good than that which is received by men. However, evidence for this continues to surface. The latest study to demonstrate this unsettling fact was published in the September 27, 2005, issue of Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Melinda Smith and co-investigators looked at stroke care between 2000 and 2002 in the seven acute-care hospitals of Corpus Christi, Texas, which includes all of the hospitals of Nueces County.

3). How Are Brain Contusions Different from Brain Concussions? By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
For a problem as pervasive as traumatic brain injury one would think that the different forms it can take would be widely known and understood. However, in my practice of community-based neurology I find this is not the case. Patients and their families are seldom familiar with the concepts of cerebral (brain) contusion and concussion, and a common error is to believe that they are basically the same, except that a contusion is a more severe form of a concussion.

8). Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Bleeding Inside the Brain By : Gary Cordingley, MD, PhD
All strokes damage the brain by disrupting circulation, but strokes come in multiple varieties. Because different parts of the brain are specialized to perform specific functions, symptoms produced by strokes vary according to what part of the brain was injured. In one patient the symptom might be weakness on one side of the body. In another it might be a partial loss of vision.

11). Your Powerful Imagination By : Patrick Porter
It is a common belief that the human brain is somehow empty at birth, and as the child begins to grow and receive stimulus, the neurons start making connections. Science is now discovering, however, that the reverse may be true. The infant is actually born with many more neuron connections than most adults have. It may be that learning does not happen by making neuron connections, but rather by “weeding out” those that are not used.

24). How your brain works. By : discmaster
Your Brain - General Features The Human Cortex The most striking feature of the human brain is seen in the cortex. This is the folded, hemispherical structure which constitutes the bulk of the visible brain. It is not present in reptiles. The cortex is relatively recent. It is perhaps one hundred thousand years old and is the part of the brain most closely associated with our ability to form complex representations of the external world, to reason logically and to use language.
