Neuroscience News
Neuroscience news is the best website to see the new developments happening daily in the neuroscience field. Sections include neurology, psychology artificial intelligence, and even robotics. The news stories posted are sourced from universities, labs, and other science publishers. It is an independent and not-for-profit site that I find very unbiased and strictly informative.

Indiana University and the University of Michigan
Universities have pioneered neuroscience research for years. I have attached links to both the Indiana University School of Medicine’s neuro research information page as well as the University of Michigan’s. Both of these institutions are meaningful to me, for IU was where I completed my first research project and I currently attend Michigan. These two websites provide an overview of the work being done now in faculty labs and also ways you can get involved.

The author David DeGrazia is an assistant professor of philosophy at George Washington University. The arguments cover both sides of the issue, so if you’re into philosophy I would recommend this article.
What are the Alternatives to Animal Testing?
This article explores the future of using animals in research. Alternative models and methods are being developed to eventually eliminate the need for lab animals. Currently, most alternative methods are not sophisticated enough, but the article sheds light on the developments being made in science today.
