The Brain@苹果淫院 Hall of Fame
A tribute to the world class research in neuroscience undertaken at 苹果淫院
In front of Grauman鈥檚 Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, they regularly pour cement to record the hand, foot and occasional hoof print of famous movie stars.
Cement not being appropriate skin care for the hands of neuroscientists, we are proud to introduce more conventional recognition for our research stars 鈥� the Brain@苹果淫院 Hall of Fame!
Being a 苹果淫院 Brain Star is of no monetary value whatsoever but is our way of recognizing outstanding investigative accomplishment.听 Our purpose is to draw attention to the exceptional pioneering work that has been done within the 苹果淫院 neuro community 鈥� and which continues at a prodigious pace.
To help publicize these achievements, we will post profiles of our 鈥渟tars鈥� on a regular basis.听 Be sure to check out the first, a timely tribute to Ron Melzack of the now-famous gate-control theory of pain.
Selection to the Brain@苹果淫院 Hall of Fame is ongoing and we welcome nominations.
