Verba Mentis - Editorial

Verba Mentis is being developed to offer the best developments, the most topical business news and the most interesting profiles of leaders in their fields. Its aim is to deliver the most relevant news without fuss. Its role is to update quickly and with flair not educate in detail.

Our objective is to make the newspaper accessible and user friendly. With this in mind we are utilising Yudu technology which will enable readers to turn the pages of the document as if they were reading a paper version at their own desk. They will also be able to view relevant video clips and interviews.

Verba Mentis will be distributed on-line to around 80,000 Neuroscience practitioners on the Cortex Congress database from researchers and clinicians through to academics. It will be published, in the first instance, 3 times a year with the first issue electronically hitting desks in the end of July.

Consulting Editor

Professor Michael Trimble will be Editorial Consultant for Verba Mentis. He is well qualified to fulfil this role with a career which spans the Neurology and Psychiatry specialities including the setting up of the Raymond-Way unit, a research group which investigates interface disorders between neurology and psychiatry.

His current writing and academic interests involve teaching and lecturing on neuroanatomical concepts relevant to understanding behaviour and its variations, in particular with an interest in neuroaesthetics and neurotheology, namely the cerebral basis of artistic and religious experiences.
