The study of the brain

Learning How Little We Know About the Brain

This article talks about how difficult it is to study the brain.

United States and Europe have focused on the study of the brain. They are invested $ 4.5 million in Obama's initiative for better understanding of the human brain. Scientists wonder how mammals remember places.

As more progress is made in research, they find more hindrance. Science don't know which chemical or physical alphabet used the brain to decipher codes. Sebastian Seung Princeton talks about how neurons are formed from memory growing out of the cells.

Larry Abbott, physical and co-director of the Center for Theoretical Neuroscience at Columbia University, is very influential in the world of neurology. Edvard Moser, a Nobel Prize winner, described him as a "pioneer of computational neuroscience.”

Dr. Abbott wasn't changed his career thanks to a friend with who invented a technique called the dynamic clamp, a way to link brain cells to a computer to manipulate Their ideas about how cells and networks work. The question now is how neurons work together. Ways to record brain electrical activity are improving. The problem for understanding the brain is the theory, because man has the intelligence.

Vocabulary

• Research: systematic investigation to establish facts or principles or to collect information on a subject,
• Hindrance: prevent something.
• Invest: to put up or spend (money) in hopes of making a profit.

Personal Opinion

I think that studies of the brain have to continue advancing, because more than 90% to know about It. Larry Abbott really helped to discover the things we know about the brain and I think they should invest more money in research.
