A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials.

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

Cognitive neuroscience is entering an exciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neural basis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interacting neurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.

Exciting discoveries in neuroscience are allowing us to fit educational methods to new understandings of how the brain develops.

Brain studies of mental workouts in which you sustain a single, chosen focus show that the more you detach from what's distracting you and refocus on what you should be paying attention to, the stronger this brain circuitry becomes.

We will move from looking at correlations between brain activity and behaviour to studying how the brain causes mental states and behaviour.

The connections in the brain fade away unless used. We know that early stimulation of children leads to higher cognitive scores.

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.

Human experience depends on everything that can influence states of the human brain, ranging from changes in our genome to changes in the global economy.

The same stimulus that animates men to action, will have a proportionate effect on juvenile minds.
