From figuring out where memories are stored to how sensory information translates to behavior, new technologies are helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works.
Many people with epilepsy are unable to remember what happened immediately before they have a seizure. This may be because seizures and memory use the same pathways of the brain.
Understanding how the brain translates smells into behavior change can help advance search and rescue technology and treatments for neurological conditions.
Understanding where and how memories are formed could lead to more ways to treat conditions like PTSD and addiction.
Understanding how brain folding works could help researchers better diagnose and treat neurodevelopmental disorders.
Scientists have been mapping the brain for centuries. New visualization tools bring them one step closer to understanding where thoughts come from and new ways to treat neurological disorders.
