I recently came across a website called Neuroscience For Kids that I believe you will find extremely interesting and informative. At first I though it was primarily an online brain game site for kids, but what I found there was much, much more. According to the website author Eric H. Chudler, Ph.D:
“Neuroscience for Kids” is intended to be a resource for anyone who is interested in learning about the nervous system.
At the site there is a page called “Explore”. The table of contents listed on that page gives you a glimpse of what you will find there.
Table of contents
* The World of Neuroscience
* Brain Basics
* Higher Functions
* Spinal Cord
* Peripheral Nervous System
* The Neuron
* Sensory Systems
* Methods and Techniques
* Drug Effects
* Neurological and Mental Disorders
The site provides a wealth of information about our brain and how it functions. It is well written and relatively easy to understand. However, don’t let the title throw you – I’d say the age level of the material is at about high school level.
I did find some online brain games at the site on a page called “Experiment”. I’ve added this link to my Free Brain Games page.
If your at all the least bit curious about how our brain functions, then I suggest you go check out Neuroscience For Kids.
