What is gray matter?
And, why does gray…matter?
Learn the basics about the brain and nervous system and have fun all at the same time! Brain Games were designed by a research team at The University of Texas School of Health Information Sciences at Houston.
The team, led by Dr. Cynthia Phelps, focuses its research on learning and technology. BrainsRule Games are part of a partner project with the University of Nebraska called the Neuroscience Expositions, a traveling hands-on science fair for kids to learn about neuroscience.
The project is funded by the National Institute for Drug Abuse and aims to improve neuroscience literacy. The more we know about our brains, the better our ability to make healthy, informed choices.

FDA urges consumers
to stop
using
Zicam Nasal Spray
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers that Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size, a discontinued product that consumers may still have in their homes, have all been associated with long lasting or permanent loss of smell (referred to as anosmia). These products, marketed by Matrixx Initiatives, are zinc-containing, nasal cold remedies used to reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. However, these products have not been shown to be effective in the reduction of the duration and severity of cold symptoms.
This advisory does not concern oral zinc tablets and lozenges taken by mouth.
FDA recommends that consumers stop using these products and throw them away. See the FDA website for How to Dispose of Unused Medicines
