Care to test your knowledge of sensation and perception? Cedar Reiner shared the final exam from his S&P course.

Scicurious asks, Does neuroscience need a Newton? Doctor Zen responds by nominating people who already qualify as the “Newtons” of neuroscience.

The DSM-5 has been finalized. Smart, sharp analysis from Vaughan Bell at Mind Hacks.
