Adolescent Brains and Juvenile Justice

In May 2011, Arizona State University hosted a conference on "Adolescent Brains and Juvenile Justice: New Insights from Neuroscience, Genetics and Addiction Science."  The conference was co-sponsored by the ASU Center for Law, Science & Innovation, the Diane Halle Center for Family Justice, the ASU Lincoln Center for Applied Ethics, and the MacArthur Law and Neuroscience Project.  To learn more about the conference, please visit the conference site.

Gazzaniga on Neurolaw

Here are two interesting videos by our own Mike Gazzaniga.  The first (see here) is a recent interview with folks from the NSF--which addresses the various ways neuroscience could impact the law.  The second (see here) is a bloggingheads.tv discussion between Gazzaniga and Carl Zimmer.  Happy viewing!

Welcome to the Law and Neuroscience Blog

 

Welcome to the The Law and Neuroscience Blog--which we have created to provide an on-line forum where the members of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience can share their ideas and interact with not only other researchers but also with the interested public more generally.  One of the main goals of the blog is to provide a resource with information about cutting edge research at the cross-roads of neuroscience, law, and philosophy.
