Brain is the latest and greatest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have ever discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interconnected through trillions of connections. The diseases that disrupt brain function are among the most painful and destructive we know: Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, alcoholism, epilepsy, and others. These diseases are the enemy; neuroscientists are frontline fighters. Their weapons are new ideas, tested by experimentation. The revolution in modern biology has provided science with a formidable armamentarium that today includes neurogenomics, neuromodulation, and biotechnology.
