James Nesbitt Quotes

Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we'd like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls.

To find better means of fixing the brain, we first need to achieve something more fundamental. We must understand how it works.

You can't imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there's no theory. There's a little, wimpy box on top there.

For the longest time, neuroscientists were forced to be passive observers of brain activity.

Neuroscience is by far the most exciting branch of science because the brain is the most fascinating object in the universe. Every human brain is different - the brain makes each human unique and defines who he or she is.

We have to remain humble about our understanding of the brain, because even our most powerful tools remain pretty blunt instruments for decoding the brain. In fact, we still do not know how to decipher the basic language of how the brain works.

I'm tremendously optimistic about the future of my discipline, yet understanding the brain is so difficult that we neuroscientists need help.

I was interested in big unknowns, and the brain is one of the biggest, so building tools that allow us to regard the brain as a big electrical circuit appealed to me.

The brain is the most complex, challenging scientific puzzle we have ever tried to decode.

I find the function of the brain incredibly fascinating, and it's like trying to crack the toughest, most complicated problem there is.

As someone who was basically a software engineer for many years, I became fascinated with how the brain functions and is put together and works in such a different fashion than computers do.

The brain is one of the richest green fields of science. There's so much yet to be discovered.

I do love the way the brain looks. I love the way it's shaped.

The brain is the black box: the final frontier.

There is no scientific study more vital to man than the study of his own brain. Our entire view of the universe depends on it.

Everything we do, every thought we've ever had, is produced by the human brain. But exactly how it operates remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries, and it seems the more we probe its secrets, the more surprises we find.

Many Nobel Prizes are awaiting good research to understand and explain the many mysteries of our bodies, such as the basic mechanism of memory or imagination.

We will move from looking at correlations between brain activity and behaviour to studying how the brain causes mental states and behaviour.

The brain is an immensely complex organ, and many mysteries remain. Exactly how brain and mind or soma and psyche are related is one of them.

Many cognitive psychologists see the brain as a computer. But every single brain is absolutely individual, both in its development and in the way it encounters the world.

The brain isn't like the heart. They learned how to transplant a heart. The brain is more complex.

The brain is hugely complicated, and because it is so complicated, it requires multidisciplinary research.

When we talk about the brain, it is anything but unidimensional or simplistic or reductionistic.

Scientists have made extraordinary advances in understanding the brain and its disorders.

I think we're all fascinated and a little mystified by how the brain works. One of the most mysterious of the physical sciences is neurological science.
