The most recent Synapse has just been published on A Blog Around the Clock with a collection of new psychology and neuroscience writing for your reading pleasure…
In addition, there’s also a neuroscience competition embedded in this edition:
This time, you have a puzzle to solve. Next to each entry, there is an image depicting the structural formula of a neurotransmitter, neurohormone or neuromodulator. Your job is to figure out what they are and leave the answers in the comments (or in your own posts that link to this edition)…
The winner – whoever is the first to correctly identify all ten compounds – will be highlighted first and with an extra post, when I host Encephalon, the other neurocarnival, later this Fall on November 6th.
There’s a few of the ‘classic nine’ in there, and the molecule accompanying the Mind Hacks post looks to be related to glycine, but I haven’t got any further than that.
Best of luck!

Mind Hacks 
I’d be interested in what Mindhacks thinks about this guy, posting over at GNXP.com on the subject of neuroscience. He seems to know what he’s talking about but I don’t really know. thanks btw, the URL is http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2006/07/what-synapse-does-when-its-not-doing.php
