When looking at the brain, it is important to go beyond its structure to its function. This is because often in cognitive disorders, the structure of the brain is intact, but its function is compromised.

Exact information about the functional significance of the deep sections of the brain is only obtained by working through the brain histologically in serial section.
The brain is the cornerstone of virtually every facet of our lives. I wish we knew more.
To find better means of fixing the brain, we first need to achieve something more fundamental. We must understand how it works.
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.
But the newest research is showing that many properties of the brain are genetically organized, and don't depend on information coming in from the senses.
I think that I cannot immediately see the route by which we should really understand memory and the workings of the brain.
When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves.
The brain is hugely complicated, and because it is so complicated, it requires multidisciplinary research.
When we talk about the brain, it is anything but unidimensional or simplistic or reductionistic.
The human brain is probably one of the most complex single objects on the face of the earth; I think it is, quite honestly.
