And in the lab, we were asking the question, "What are the biological differences between the
brains
of individuals who would be diagnosed as normal control, as compared with the
brains
of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizoaffective or bipolar disorder?"
We grew by six percent of roads, so it's not in your
brains.
They have little, tiny
brains
with very little cognitive ability, the way we normally think of it.
They have complicated behavior, but they lack complicated
brains.
We were all so excited about destroying Justine, and our shaming
brains
are so simple-minded, that we couldn't also handle destroying somebody who was inappropriately destroying Justine.
We find there are more neural stem cells that make new neurons in these old
brains.
But we observed that there are no cells entering the
brains
of these animals.
We're running a small clinical study at Stanford, where we treat Alzheimer's patients with mild disease with a pint of plasma from young volunteers, 20-year-olds, and do this once a week for four weeks, and then we look at their
brains
with imaging.
That's what we see in the
brains
of Alzheimer's patients.
Now you've seen before that with electrodes you can control robotic arms, that brain imaging and scanners can show you the insides of
brains.
We all know that as we form thoughts, they form deep channels in our minds and in our
brains.
What are other beings doing with those
brains?
We can look at evolution, we can look at their
brains
and we can watch what they do.
OK, maybe you're saying, all right, well, we see brains, but what does that have to say about minds?
Well, I think that's silly, because attributing human thoughts and emotions to other species is the best first guess about what they're doing and how they're feeling, because their

The continuum and distribution of dyslexia suggests a broader principle to bear in mind as we look at how the
brains
of those with dyslexia process language.
Neurodiversity is the idea that because all our
brains
show differences in structure and function, we shouldn't be so quick to label every deviation from "the norm" as a pathological disorder or dismiss people living with these variations as "defective."
So, here's the special way the
brains
of those with dyslexia work.
fMRI studies have found that the
brains
of those with dyslexia rely more on the right hemisphere and frontal lobe than the
brains
of those without it.
The
brains
of those with dyslexia begin using the left hemisphere more efficiently while reading, and their reading improves.
Neurodiversity emphasizes this spectrum of brain function in all humans and suggests that to better understand the perspectives of those around us, we should try not only to see the world through their eyes but understand it through their
brains.
The next few years may tell us whether we'll be able to continue to increase our understanding of nature, or whether maybe for the first time in the history of science, we could be facing questions that we cannot answer, not because we don't have the
brains
or technology, but because the laws of physics themselves forbid it.
