REVIEW
Gray Matters raises awareness of current brain research. The video series features presentations by leading neuroscientists and can be viewed in their entirety or as shorter clips for specific learning objectives in the classroom. The site will be of interest to anyone interested in how the brain develops, in how it works, or in diseases of the brain. High school teachers and students will especially appreciate the Explore & Discover section where they will find short videos to demonstrate key concepts, study guides, background information, featured scientists information, teacher resources, and links to supplemental resources.
