You can't imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there's no theory. There's a little, wimpy box on top there.

The brain is hugely complicated, and because it is so complicated, it requires multidisciplinary research.

The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.

Our understanding of the human brain can be dramatically accelerated if we collect and share research data on an exponentially wider scale.

I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.

I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science.

What we find is that our brains have colossal things happening in them all the time.

We cannot experimentally map out the brain. It's just too big. In a piece of the brain the size of a pinhead there are 3,000 pathways like a city with 3,000 streets.
