The big question is how the brain works. The scientific community is always trying to learn more about the brain and how it works in order to better understand and treat diseases like Alzheimer, Autism and Depression. New technologies are helping scientists to understand how the brain works; 3D imaging is a very important one.
Van Wedeen is a scientist who designed a device to scan the brain, creating in unprecedented detail representations of the brain wiring. This project aimed the mapping of our neural circuitry, giving scientists the tools they need to get a dynamic picture of the brain in action. As they see it in action they are also able to understand and see its flaws much better.
Mapping the brain with more detail will enable scientists
