Seeing the Brain…With Diapers (What?!)

Call me a nerd, but this is fascinating!

As the video pointed out, there are many other ways of looking into the human brain. This one may move us into new ways of understanding frightening conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Imagine how this discovery might help us study things on a neuron by neuron level.
Very often these images are beautiful (not to mention fun to interact with). On the NOVA site they have a rather interesting interactive where you can play around with many of these different imaging types! You can try that out here.
Maybe, like me, you might consider learning a little more about the human brain and how it works a s a new hobby!
Perhaps what I love most about our video today and the world of neuroscience, is how scientists are expanding possibilities.

“The possibility of coming right up to the edge of what is known and seeing past it.”
