The challenges of understanding the immensely complex spatiotemporally variable neural circuitry in the normal and diseased brain

2025-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<p>A recent detailed analysis of how well neuroscientists understand brain function concluded thatwe have highly overestimated this ability. Here, we support this view but argue for importantexceptions whose identification serves useful didactic purposes. For example, the highly-studiedSuperior Colliculus (SC), known best as involved in controlling gaze shifts, has a much morecomplex functional organization than o...
