Cracking the Neural Code

From treating depression and Alzheimer's to decoding how thinking and emotions work, Stanford researchers are starting to "crack the code" for how the nervous system creates our mental lives.

veryfuck, you're a crack up! You're the type of person that has stunted the growth of medical advancements and ground breaking technology because of the lack of intelligence you have. It's clearly obvious that these men are far more intelligent than you and yet love, not science, will be the ultimate medicine. People who are loved die from diseases everyday, so therefore you hold no credibility in your statement when these guys do. Do some logical thinking before you speak next time.

Tell that to someone who has Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease.

Of course human feelings and empathy are important, but without scientific research serious mental ilnesses will never be cured, no matter how much love you give. It's about the combo, the one doesn't have to exclude the other,

Keep up the good work! Cheers

yeah very impressive. I am so impressed.

3:06 this looks very impressive and complicated, I am afraid it is impossible to understand.

Good Luck

@nxxbcannon they die because they are weak and the weak should die, not rule and survive and feed over the stronger individuals, this is against evolution, and wasnt the evolution theory the religion of science? this scientis are not wron they dont understand what big companys do with the knowledge they get from this scientist. downgrading mass humanity, eg making up non existing decease like autism and adhd. sell them drugs make profit make more people dumb,

but you dont care

The brain is the greatest biological enigma that science has ever known. Is it wrong to want to understand how it works on a mechanical level? Will such knowledge change how it works on an emotional, psychological, or spiritual level? If so, how?

@vanderbilt887 that's why they try to kill us with this technology. Feeling sexy? I'm sure not. Luckily, my problem helps me out.

Really great work!

its not just Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease , there's also hope for curing blindness for people whose visual cortex is still healthy (there was a pbs program on that sometime ago) .. and so many others that have some form of neurological disorder. Besides the numerous practical applications to the medical field, this research area is fascinating in itself!. This is a profession that i really envy.
