Child-Neuro:
Usenet Links
Usenet can be thought of as a series of continually updated electronic bulletin boards or forums, each focused on a particular topic. An excellent introduction can be found in the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (Extended) Guide to the Internet - Usenet: the Global Watering Hole. Newsgroups can be accessed using most WWW browsers or with dedicated Usenet newsreaders (e.g., Nuntius for the Macintosh, Trumpet for Windows). Some relevant forums (let us know if you have additions to suggest!):
- sci.med This is the catch-all group for medical issues in the sci hierarchy. Participation varies from laypersons to clinicians to researchers.
- sci.med.psychobiology an unmoderated common forum for discussions and announcements among those interested in such scientific aspects of psychiatry as: psychobiology, psychopharmacology, inheritance of psychiatric illness, behavioral genetics, psychoneurobiology, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, psychoneuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, psychosomatics, somatization disorder, psychiatric education and training, research support and funding, research training.
