Amazing Science News Updates - Demystifying the Age-Old Theories

1. Amazing Science News Updates—Demystifying the Age-Old Theories Scientists worldwide are busy carrying out research and coming out with findings and discoveries that have the potential to serve humanity in a more sophisticated and advanced manner.Some science news updates demystify the age-old theories and concepts and give the world solutions that prove crucial enough to tap these developments in the more significant interest of humanity. One of the most important findings is related to our brain's understanding. Growing Up of Neuroscience Mere one century ago, science's understanding of the brain remained primitive, like studying the earthquake before seismographs. It was known to the doctors that certain brain injuries lead to specific problems such as loss of speech or vision. Anatomists had instead identified nerve cells or neurons, which are the critical components of the brain and nervous system. But these were just superficial views. It was not known how cells collectively manage the brain's systematic and sophisticated control of behaviour, memory, or emotions. Until recently, it was notknown how neurons communicate or the intricacies of their connections. It may come as a rude shock to the present generation that the research field is known as neuroscience—the science of the nervous system didn't exist, and it became known as such only in the 1960s. Over the years, with the growth of neuroscience, some significant facts have been unravelled and arestill evolving. One of the neuroscientists at the Allen Institute in Seattle, Christof Koch, states that "we're somewhere probably at the beginning of the middle part, or the end of the beginning". In Koch's own words, learning of the brain is "a slow process, because of its complexities it hits the wall of our understanding." Interesting Scientific Discoveries So, nothing is surprising to know that we live in the present age of interesting scientific discoveries. The proven fact is that making sense of the brain's vexing complexity is more challenging than ever. We can access torrents of information through advanced technologies and expanded computing which are certainly renaissance in the current context. Studying the brain's prime power source can give more profound revelations. It lets us know the vastarray of neural connections that are supposed to carry information from one part of the brain to other. Scientists have already begun drawing detailed maps of those neural highways and are busy compiling a comprehensive atlas of the brain's communication systems, known as the connectome. It has been made possible by using the latest brain mapping. Michael D. Fox, a neuroscientist and neurologist, comes with yet another startling revelation that "with the building of human connectome, this wiring diagram of the human brain, we suddenly had the resources and tools to begin to look at [the brain] differently. Richer in knowledge and equipped with the latest technology tools has helped the scientists who recently didn't know anything about reading some parts of their new connectome maps but are

In this way, these neurologists are dedicated to changing brain circuits to help alleviate ailments such as Parkinson's disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder and depression. Fox says," Maybe for the first time in history, we have the tools to map all such symptoms onto human brain circuits, and we've got the tools to intervene and modulate these circuits." Resolute and optimistic, Fox is focused, and his goal sounds grandiose. Still, he doesn't think it's a stretch. Fox set his deadline a decade ago, and he doesn't want to wait for 50 years. Onlytime will tell whether it's ten years from now or 50 or more, but one thing is sure by imagining what lies ahead, we can remind ourselves of the advancement and progress already made in this direction. The discovery of neural galaxies and mapping can certainly put us into a more optimistic mode and give a moment of wonder at what may come next.
