It is great to be a part of this blog! Thanks to Prof. Kolber for hosting and to all the other guest bloggers for their contributions.
An upcoming neuroethics event may be of interest to readers: "Ethics, Neuroimaging, and Limited States of Consciousness" is a one-day workshop at Stanford on June 28th. This event will bring together experts in neuroimaging and neuroscience, law, biomedical and clinical ethics, as well as patient and community stakeholders for a discussion of the issues surrounding consent, research, and clinical objectives for this patient population. The morning session is free and open to the public. More information can be found here.
I will post an update on the proceedings after the conference.

Hi Alvaro, see my new post above. The conference didn't talk about aging per sec, as it was focused mainly around the clinical state of MCS/PVS. But look for a forthcoming special issue of AJOB-Neuroscience for a full report. Cheers!
