recent blog posts elsewhere
Posting has been a little ’sparse’ in the last few months but here are a couple of links to comments I’ve made on the SRF site on two recent interesting papers:

Secondly, a description of a new MR imaging approach which can distinguish the newly forming brain cells in the hippocampus……these cells might be important in the aetiology of psychiatric illness.
I’ll try to write a ‘year in summary’ piece in the next few weeks……
