And just like Humpty Dumpty, we struggle to put it back together again…at least not to its previous level of complex organisation . But we are remarkably ingenious creatures, obviously because we possess great brains, and we are ever- inventing brilliant schemes to fix the brain (or at least our brains are). And we, or our brains, often conjure up unthinkable technologies (pardon the intended pun!) Over the years this blog has tried to keep up with these improbable schemes , and you can check the veracity of this claim by looking up two of my very old blog posts on this: 6 exciting neuroscience discoveries that will shape neurology 10 remarkable breakthroughs that will change neurology . But the developments keep rolling in, so here are 7 remarkable technologies shaping the future of the brain . Artificial neurones What if you could just replace your damaged nerves wit
