About KBrain Map
A place that summarizes recent research in brain science and neuroscience. We work from peer-reviewed papers (PubMed, Nature Neuroscience, Cell and others), not marketing copy.
Topics We Cover
Brain Science Basics
Mechanisms of neural circuits, synapses, neuronal development and brain plasticity
Cognitive Neuroscience
The neural basis of memory, learning, decision-making, attention and perception
Neurotechnology
BCI (brain-computer interfaces), neurofeedback, fMRI/EEG imaging
AI in Neuro
Using deep learning to understand the brain, and brain-inspired AI models
Mental Health
A neuroscience view of depression, anxiety, ADHD and stress
Neuropharmacology & Treatment
Neurotransmitters, psychoactive drugs, and treatments for neurodegenerative diseases
📝 Editorial Principles
① Based on peer-reviewed papers
Every neuroscience claim cites peer-reviewed literature such as PubMed, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Cell and Brain.
② Strict checking of biomedical information
Brain science is a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life: health and safety) topic. Nothing here is diagnostic or treatment advice; it is provided for academic understanding.
③ Mechanisms first
Rather than giving bare conclusions, we explain the mechanisms at the neural-circuit and molecular level to keep the science in depth.
④ Pitfalls and limitations stated
Posts cover neuroscience's reproducibility problems, the limits of animal models, and statistical pitfalls.
⑤ Sources and study years stated
We list each cited paper's DOI, publication year, sample size and limitations so readers can judge how reliable it is.
⑥ Ads kept separate from content
Sponsorships and ads are clearly labeled, and core neuroscience posts are written independently of commercial influence.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Who writes the content?
The KBrain Map Editorial Team. Posts are written by citing peer-reviewed papers and official sources in neuroscience, cognitive science and mental health.
Q. Where does the information come from?
Peer-reviewed journals (Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, Cell, Brain, Journal of Neuroscience and others), papers indexed in PubMed, and official materials from recognized health agencies (NIH, WHO, KDCA).
Q. Do you use AI to write posts?
We use AI as an aid for drafting technical guides and organizing material, but every post is reviewed by a person before publication, and a person is responsible for medical accuracy. See the Editorial Policy for details.
Q. Can I use this blog for medical diagnosis or treatment?
No. This blog is for education and information. Please do not self-diagnose any neurological or mental health symptom; always consult a qualified medical professional.
Q. How do I report incorrect information?
Let us know at the email on the Contact page. Errors that affect medical accuracy are fixed within 24-72 hours. Corrections are noted at the bottom of the post.
Q. Can I cite your content?
Academic citation is freely allowed as long as you credit the source (e.g. KBrain Map, https://kbrain-map.org/blog/[slug], date accessed). Commercial republication requires asking us first.
