The great insights now are around the plasticity of the brain, how new pathways can be formed even after damage, and how they are formed through experience. Yet there is a focus on imagery and which bits of the brain light up, because it is whizzy and fun. Spending a lot of time a while back with neurosurgeons after a close relative suffered a head injury taught me that brain scans are still blunt intruments, that we don't know sometimes if some functions can be taken over by other areas of the brain, if nerves can repair. It taught me that coma is still a mysterious state from which one does not wake up, but rather swims slowly to the surface. All these very clever doctors were more than happy to talk about what they did not know about the brain.
