The human brain is the greatest scientific challenge, yet the scourge of brain disorders urgently demands progress. Fortunately, building on recent advances in neuroscience and many other disciplines, new ideas, tools, and modes of organization promise significant movement forward.

Steven E. Hyman served as Provost of Harvard University from 2001 through 2011 and also serves as Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. He is a leading scholar at the intersection of molecular neuroscience, molecular biology, and psychiatry. Dr. Hyman also served as Director of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) from 1996 to 2001. Hyman's tenure there was marked by intensified efforts to bring molecular biolgy, genetics, neuroscience, and behavioral science all to bear, in integrated ways, on the understanding of mental illness and mental health.

  • Neuroscience..! Who needs it..?

    Don't these people realise that all this, so called, mental ill health is really just plain old demon possession and all that's needed is a bit of good old fashioned exorcism here and there.

  • @bakedbean37 LOL I hope you're joking

    It is entirely possible. It will take time--maybe some centuries--before we fully understand it. The daunting task must not be avoided simply because of its difficulty. It is far too important to set aside.

  • I do not agree with the space to brain knowledge. The brain is so smart that it could figure out how to put an organized world together, so our consciousness understand the world better. How are we going to understand that advanced machine, witch we (ourselves) think with?
