ISSUE 4: Fall 2022

 Editor’s Note

December 20th, 2022

It is with great pride and pleasure to share the fourth issue of Grey Matters journal with you. Temple’s chapter of Grey Matters was started by a group of friends who shared a passion for making neuroscience more accessible. Most of our founding members have since graduated from Temple. However, our new generation of brillant members have risen to the challenge of carrying out Grey Matters’s mission. I am incredibly proud of everyone’s hard work that went into the production of this issue. 

In the fourth issue of Grey Matters, you will find articles characterizing mysterious illnesses, such as Sanfilippo Syndrome, Florence Syndrome, and Pseudobulbar Affect. Moreover, we have articles that shed light on new discoveries in Alzheimer’s disease, neurological effects of birth control, and psychological approaches for chronic pain management. If you are curious about the fundamentals we recommend you read Beyond the Neuron: Myelination's Role in Disorder and Disease. Staying up late to read all of our wonderful articles in one night may leave you sleep deprived, a condition that is explored in Restless Reprieve: Understanding the Dangers of Sleep Deprivation. No matter what your interest are, I believe each of these articles will allow you to explore the passions of our individual authors and artists which is the cornerstone of Grey Matters.

Please enjoy these thoughtful articles and beautiful art pieces. I hope something among the wide range of topics in this issue sparks your interest and leaves you inspired to learn more about neuroscience. 

Warm regards,
Olivia
