Subject: Launch of NiBBS - News in Brain and Behavioural Sciences From: "Ian Pitchford" <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: "Ian Pitchford" <[log in to unmask]> Organization: http://www.human-nature.com/darwin/index.html Please forward this announcement of our new service to your friends, colleagues and other discussion groups, where appropriate. NiBBS - News in Brain and Behavioural Sciences Launched February, 2001 http://human-nature.com/nibbs/ The brain and behavioural sciences incorporate the most complex and rapidly developing fields of the twenty-first century. Each week scientists, scholars, journalists and the public hear of new ideas, findings, and controversies, but are often left without the contextual information, access to intellectual resources, and informed commentary that allow a meaningful and timely evaluation of the scientific and socio-political importance of any new development. By integrating resources and incorporating the features of a scientific journal, broadsheet, news magazine, scientific database, multimedia Internet resource, discussion group, and library our newsletter "News in Brain and Behavioral Sciences" aims to provide the intelligent reader's solution to information overload. The site is updated every day with the latest news, scientific reports, reviews and discussion. Search keys allow one-click access to: the advice and commentary of over 3000 experts throughout the world who participate in our research information networks; topics and authors evaluated through searches of 12,000,000 articles published in 20,000 journals (many available for electronic delivery); one and a half billion web pages, and two million books. The topics covered by NiBBS so far this month include the Human Genome Project, sex addiction, consciousness studies, pathological gambling, The Bell Curve, sex differences in the expression of emotion, maternal care and neuronal development, the efficacy of psychotherapy, pheromones, fathers and puberty, evolutionary psychology, suicide and income, the pill and partner choice, Darkness in El Dorado, theory of mind in chimpanzees and humans, the causes of schizophrenia, and much more.
