About Us

Brain Blogger covers topics from multidimensional biopsychosocial perspectives. It reviews the latest news and stories related to neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurology. It serves as a focal point for attracting new minds beyond the science of the mind-and-brain and into the biopsychosocial model.

This project is an official undertaking of the Global Neuroscience Initiative Foundation (GNIF) — a major international non-profit charity organization for the advancement of neurological and mental health patient welfare, education, and research.

We are proud to be a member of the Scientific American Partner Network — a handful of selected blogs that share similar interests and readership. Also, we are certified by HONcode — the oldest and the most used ethical and trustworthy code for medical and health related information available on Internet.
