BrainFacts.org is a new web site launched in May, 2012, by the Society for Neuroscience.  According to a press release about the site, BrainFacts.org seeks to help "...people of all ages to learn more about how the brain works, how it drives thought and behavior, and its role in brain diseases and disorders."

The site is divided into six main sections:  About Neuroscience; Brain Basics; Sensing, Thinking, & Behaving; Diseases & Disorders; Across the Lifespan; In Society.  Each of those main sections is further divided into more sections.  For example, Brain Basics is divided into Neuroanatomy, Cell Communication, Brain Development, Neural Network Function and Evolution.

Neuroscience for Kids has been created for all students and teachers who would like to learn about the nervous system.
