With the NFL season beginning in less than one week, We at NEWRON headquarters are happy to know that neuroengineers are finally lending a hand in keeping our football players alive and well. Sure, these scientists could be spending their lives curing debilitating diseases that people get without intentionally bashing their head’s into others, but […]
This latest edition of NEWRON has not one, but two articles featuring Johns Hopkins University scientists that made it all the way through the highly selective NEWRON publishing staff filters and into your inboxes.

Welcome to the trippy edition of NEWRON. One of our lead NEWRON editors recently got his wisdom teeth extracted today and is currenlty doped up on a variety of mind-altering narcotics. Aren’t the colors far out?

Issue XXI has been causing quite a stir around the NEWRON publishing office, bringing back memories of what was probably the greatest Super Bowl ever, Super Bowl XXI in which the New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos by a score of 39-20 and Phil Simms setting a Super Bowl and NFL postseason record […]
“One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” is what Neil Armstrong said 38 years ago on this very day, as he was the first human ever to set foot on a celestial body. And we at NEWRON publishing believe similar sentiments are felt when describing this milestone of the twentieth issue […]
For those of you keeping count at home, this is the second 13th issue of NEWRON. No, this is not because the NEWRON publishers forgot how to count up to 19. We have this odd 1-day bug in our system that only allows us to put the Roman numerals ‘XIII’ in our subject. We hope […]
We hope you all enjoyed your Fourth of July. As an indication of just how committed our NEWRON editors are, it has been said around the office that the fireworks looked to some of us like neurons, with the central explosion spot as the soma and protruding flares as the dendrites. Some editors even imagined […]
