Publisher: Dallas Morning News, 2001ISSN: 1522-3264;.Subject(s): Brain -- Imaging | Brain -- Research | Child development | Dyslexia | Learning | Medical ethics | NeurosciencesDDC classification: 050 Summary: "Getting inside the mind: How far do we go?" --- "As scientists probe the brain's machinery, they are learning not only how it works but also how to alter its activity--sometimes to fix a flaw, sometimes to enhance a skill....But some experts also warn that the ability to cure a sick brain or improve its performance poses ethical problems that may catch society by surprise." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article explores technological advancements that reveal nuances in brain function and examines "neuroethical" issues that arise from such capabilities.Summary: "Brain Research Enticing but Easily Misapplied" --- "Putting brain research to use in classroom settings is an enticing idea...After all, children learn with their brains. So it follows that a better understanding of the brain can lead to better teaching. Indeed, dozens of books offer teaching methods based on the latest findings. But neuroscientists doing the brain research say that although some of those books may be useful, others will fall by the wayside. Already, intriguing brain findings are put to use--or misuse--too soon." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article investigates the misapplication of brain research within the field of education. Also included is a discussion of "new neuroscience".Summary: "'New Neuroscience' Melds Competing Views of Brain" -- "As the new milennium begins, psychology, psychiatry and neurology have begun to meld into an amalgam commonly known as the 'new neuroscience.' It's the beginning of the real story behind the biology of the mind." (DALLAS MORNING NEWS) This article reviews the history of neuroscience and considers the integration of several sciences to reconcile opposing models of brain study.
