Yesterday in the New York Times there was a fascinating article about how some researchers have discovered a way to "turn on and off" different neurons in the brain to see their functions. You can find the article here. It has to do more with neuroscience than cognitive psychology, but it could certainly help locate more specific places for memory, language, and other cognitive processes in the brain. Also researchers believe that this technique could help fix psychological disorders in the future. And the coolest thing: Stanford has a main part in all of this research!
Well, I hope you guys find that interesting.
It was fun meeting all of you guys, and I'll miss our cog psych class!

That is so interesting to me. In my sophomore science classes we focused alot on neuroscience, and I remember being fascinated especially with the different ages that neuronal connections become robust and mature. We are almost in our peak neuronal connection time.
