Neurotransmitters and Neuroactive Peptides
Communication of information between neurons is accomplished by movement of chemicals across a small gap called the synapse. Chemicals, called neurotransmitters are released from one neuron (the presynaptic nerve terminal), then cross the synapse and are accepted by the next neuron at a specialized site (the postsynaptic receptor). The action that follows activation of a receptor site may be either depolarization (an excitatory postsynaptic potential) or hyperpolarization (an inhibitory postsynaptic potential).

Evolutionary Psychology: A Primer
The goal of research in evolutionary psychology is to discover and understand the design of the human mind. Evolutionary psychology is an approach to psychology, in which knowledge and principles from evolutionary biology are put to use in research on the structure of the human mind. It is not an area of study, like vision, reasoning, or social behavior. It is a way of thinking about psychology that can be applied to any topic within it.

Neuroscience for Kids - Hemispheres
How many brains do you have - 1 or 2? Actually, this is quite easy to answer...you have only 1 brain. However, the cerebral hemispheres are divided right down the middle into a right hemisphere and a left hemisphere. Each hemisphere appears to be specialized for some behaviors.

Split Brain Consciousness
In those of us with healthy, intact brains, information presented to our right hemisphere is quickly sent to our left hemisphere. What happens when the right and left hemispheres of your brain can no longer communicate?
