Q: What does a brain do when it sees a friend across the street?

Oh yes. You know it, I’ve hit paydirt. A web site that seems perfectly pitched at me: Neuroscience for Kids. Joy. I’ll alert you to a piece comparing Neuroscience research to “Survivor”; which gave a 2000s spin to a well-recognised fact:
