On how to cure brain diseases - with Nicole Rust - #31

A promise of basic neuroscience research is that the new insights will lead to new cures for brain diseases. But has that happened so far? Today's guest, an accomplished professor of neuroscience, decided to investigate. Her book "Elusive cures: why neuroscience hasn't solved brain disorders - and how we can change that" came out this summer. Here she argues that we need to consider the brain as a complex adaptive system, not as a chain of dominos as in the typical linear thinking.
