They're really figuring out the brain now and we should all make an effort to stay alive to see what they come up with... could be pretty damn cool.

We're learning but we do have a very long way to go. We only know an estimated 1/6 of the neurotransmitters. The drugs may impact the unknown ones with unpredictable results. Some folks are being helped, but we are just tinkering at this point.

"Brain-Based Learning" is the edu-fad of the week, as if learning wasn't always brain-based. They are using brain imaging to try to figure out what a brain should look like when doing a particular task, it has a lot of potential but brain science is still very primitive.
