	The Neurobiologist's Guide To Buddha
		The Neurobiologist's Guide to Buddha is an encyclopedia of mental disorders, personality traits, and other behaviors for which a genetic basis has been discovered.
		For the neurobiologist, the mind is the brain, a highly sophisticated organ comprised of billions of specialized cells, called neurons.
		According to the neurobiologist, a Buddha-mind can not be achieved unless one is endowed with the genes -- the Buddha-genes -- which allow it.

		The scientists, led by Duke neurobiologist Erich Jarvis, assert that the century-old traditional nomenclature is outdated and does not reflect new molecular, genetic and behavioral studies that reveal the brainpower of birds.
		Neurobiologist Miguel Nicolelis has been elected to be a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest scientific society and publisher of the journal Science.
		Neurobiologists in the McNamara lab, partnered with researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, have found that switching off a single gene for a neuronal protein prevents epilepsy in a mouse model of human epilepsy.

	The Neurobiologist's Guide To Buddha
		According to the Teaching of Buddha, the cause of human suffering is the "thirsts" of the human body and "the illusions of worldly passions." Suffering can be eliminated, Buddha teaches, by controlling the mind and divesting it of desire, passion, greed, anger, fear, craving, and other destructive impulses.
		Buddhism refers to the "discriminating mind" and the "pure mind of Enlightenment." The discriminating mind is the part of the self which focuses on the materiality of the corporeal world as it is perceived by the senses, rather than its essential nature.
		The question raised in The Neurobiologist's Guide to Buddha is whether a pure mind of enlightment be attained when the genes which underlie the discriminating mind dictate greed and aggression.

	The Feeling Neurobiologist by Andy Blunden 2006
		It is good to have an advocate among the neurobiologists for the role of emotions and feelings in rational thought.
		I certainly think it can be done better and that it should be done differently, but nonetheless, it must be counted as a plus that Dammassio has taken up the challenge.
		Faced with self-serving naïvité of this breathtaking order, and with obvious fictions like the ‘mirror neurons’ making their appearance in what is presented as hard neuroscientific fact, one is then somewhat hesitant about accepting as good coin the rather appealing ideas about the role of body maps and emotions in the mediation of thought.

	SICB Careers - Neurobiology
		Neurobiologists commonly study animals that have exaggerated or specialized sensory, motor or behavioral capacities in order to learn about some aspect of neural function common to all complex animals including rats and humans.
		In general, neurobiologists become interested in understanding how the nervous system operates and how various animal behaviors are generated.
		This interest may be developed from observing animals in nature, visits to the zoo, aquariums and museums, and reading books on natural history, biology and general science.

	CSHL - Researchers Reveal New Secrets of the Brain
		Their study upends the long-held tenet that the structure of adult brains is fixed, sheds light on processes that underlie learning and memory, and offers hope for future treatment of brain trauma and mental retardation.
		In a paper in the December 19 issue of Nature, neurobiologist Karel Svoboda and his colleagues present the most convincing evidence to date that the adult brain can rewire itself in response to outside world.
		While many neuroscientists had begun to speculate that adult brains might be more dynamic than once thought, neuroscience orthodoxy still held that adult brains are relatively stable, limiting learning and recovery from injury.

	William H. Calvin's THE THROWING MADONNA (Chapter 9: Aplysia, the Hare of the Ocean)
		In fact, its major known predator is the neurobiologist, who can be seen wading around in the intertidal waters off southern California, in the Gulf of Mexico, or in the Mediterranean searching for a prized specimen amongst the seaweed with the dedication of a truffle hound.
		And neurobiologists, whose attempts to stick glass pipettes into them are sometimes reminiscent of spearing apples floating in a barrel, appreciate an easier target (neurobiology was revolutionized in 1936 when J. Young discovered a nerve fiber in the squid more than 1 millimeter in diameter).
		When the neurobiologist can get to know a cell so well, it becomes an "identified" cell and is added to the map of the Aplysia nervous system which adorns the office wall of many a neurobiologist.

	Eliminativism
		Biologists, in contrast, are content to wait for experimental neurobiologists to publish all of the brain's synaptic mechanisms and map all of the brain's intricate wiring.
		Possible mechanisms for higher brain functions and consciousness such as the one suggested by Crick (9) are needed and remain to be discovered.
		While neurobiologists are sure that we are on the right path, that reductionistic materialism will solve the mystery of how a brain makes what we experience as mind, there is still much hard investigative work to be done.

		Although the number of students in most science studies is declining, the number of first-year students enrolled for Psychobiology has increased to 120 in three years.
		However, the neurobiologist wonders whether this enormous growth is advantageous to lecturers and students.
		Professor Joëls will address this question at some length in her speech ‘More science students?’, to be held on 29th March during the foundation day of the Faculty of Science.

		The story, based on Philip K. Dick’s sci-fi thriller of the same name, is set in the near future, but such selective memory erasure is still highly speculative at best.
		ScientificAmerican.com asked neurobiologist James McGaugh of the University of California at Irvine, who studies learning and memory, to explain what kinds of memory erasure are currently possible.

	The Psychoanalyst and the Neurobiologist
		Elio Frattaroli is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst on the faculty of the Psychoanalytic Center of Philadelphia and author of "Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain: Becoming Conscious in an Unconscious World".
		Paul Grobstein is a neurobiologist at Bryn Mawr College and Director of the College's Center for Science in Society whose published work includes "Revisiting Science in Culture: Science as Story Telling and Story Revising" and "Making the Unconscious Conscious, and Vice Vera: A Bi-directional Bridge Between Neuroscience/Cognitive Science and Psychotherapy".
		On the other hand it is obvious that psychoanalysts have a whole lot more information and ask much more interesting questions about these phenomena/problems than neuroscientists do, because they actually observe these phenomena/problems every day while neurobiologists never observe them directly, only their correlates in the brain.

		He shared these samples with his collaborator at another university, who in turn shared them with a team of psychiatric genetic researchers there who were studying the genetics of depression.
		They contacted the neurobiologist and asked him if he would help them recruit the family of that sample's source into a genetic study of that mutation and its link to suicidal depression.

		There's a wonderful new book called "why we see what we do" by Dale Purves, a neurobiologist at Duke.
		He's found a way to quantify the strength of various optical illusions and has a theory that optical illusions reflect our mind's attempts to get the real information from ambiguous optical information.
