Overall, we’re much less successful at treating brain illnesses than those that originate in other parts of the body. That's because psychiatrists can rarely can draw direct connections from the brain to symptoms in patients or remedies, according to Joseph Herbert, emeritus professor of neuroscience at the Cambridge Centre for Brain Repair at the University of Cambridge, and the author of Testosterone: Sex, Power, and the Will to Win.
Neuroscience is still young. Although we know something about how neurons work, there are around billion neurons in the human brain. Each one can communicate with about 10, others--which adds up to around 1, trillion possible connections.
Right now, neuroscientists can’t say that a particular neuron’s activity is matched to an experience like say, hunger, or recognizing a face.

We also don’t understand how or why their activity prod
