"The brain boggles the mind," writes James D. Watson, co~discoverer of the structure of DNA, in his foreword to this book. A product of genetic inheritance and environmental forces, the brain is the center of our being and consciousness. Yet, we pay little attention to its miraculous workings day to day. The 1990s~declared by President Bush to be the Decade of the Brain~offer a special opportunity not only for scientists but also for policymakers and all of us seeking to understand the tragic brain disorders that affect millions. The progress researchers have made toward grasping the complexities of the brain has been substantial, and the next decade promises yet another leap forward. A woodcut shown in this book from the year 1537 depicts the brain with two major lobes plus additional large divisions. Today, we can observe the functions of single cells. With breakthrough imaging techniques, we can watch the brain in real time and in color, viewing the flow of energy as a person reads or thinks or dreams. Our new knowledge is accumulated under the umbrella of neuroscience, the field of study that draws together findings from a number of branches of science and medicine to make sense of diverse questions about the brain. The results of neuroscience discoveries will reach into most people's everyday experience, enriching the lives of the mentally healthy as well as alleviating the distress of victims of brain disorders and their families. We need to understand these developments~an understanding that can begin by reading this book~because neuroscience today and tomorrow rests firmly on the foundation of public investment. Without continuing funding of brain research~which depends on public support and understanding~the chance to help millions and to pursue promising lines of discovery will be lost. Discovering the Brain offers an inside look at what researchers know and what they are on the verge of discovering about the brain~an enlightening prelude to the decade ahead and a fascinating window on the workings of our own minds.
