		<description><![CDATA[Wired has an article about Dr. Henry Markram&#8217;s goal to simulate an entire human brain within 10 years. While his goal will not be met within that time-frame, this is important work to do. If we can have a way to simulate brain development or function, it can help us understand how brain disorders occur [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>

		<description><![CDATA[Intelligence is an interesting concept. We have tests that measure what we call intelligence but such tests are limited and culture-centric (not that that is necessarily a negative thing). However, for the sake of discussion I will operationally define aptitude (i.e., intelligence) as Intelligence Quotient so as to have a standard metric as foundation for this post.

DBS is used to treat Parkinson&#8217;s disease, essential tremor, multiple sclerosis, and even some intractable depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

		<description><![CDATA[Parkinson&#8217;s disease is what is known as a slowly progressing neurological disorder. It usually has an onset around or after age 60 with an average of 14 years between diagnosis and death (which means that there is a slightly reduced lifespan compared to peers without Parkinson&#8217;s disease). While symptoms vary &#8211; resting tremor, gait disturbances, [...]<div class='yarpp-related-rss'>
