What is neurolaw, anyway?

For those of you who are understandably new to neurolaw, I thought it might be helpful to provide some links to some survey pieces from both professional journals and the popular press.  For starters, here are two illuminating articles written by some of the members of the LANP:

1. Michael Gazzaniga,"The Law and Neuroscience," Neuron (2008).
2. Dean Mobb et al., "Law, Responsibility, and the Brain," PLoS Biology (2007).

And here are two pieces from the popular press:

1. Robert Hotz, "Your Brain, Your Honor, Will Take the Witness Stand," WSJ (2009).
2. Jeffrey Rosen, "The Brain on the Stand," NYT (2007).

These four pieces should whet your appetite.  In the event that you want to delve further into some of the issues that are raised therein, you should check out some of the side-bars on this blog--which contain several links to relevant researchers, webpages, books, and blogs.
