Disorders of the brain affect 1/5 of the population. Little to no research has been made to understand the molecular causes of psychiatric disorders within a decade, but James Temperton, author and Digital Editor for Wired Magazine, is optimistic.

Today, Temperton shares the potential medical innovations of all things brain. We discuss why it's been so difficult to study the brain, ethical challenges, and developments that are leading us closer to understanding how it functions.

We talk about:

Why it's difficult to study the brain
The potential of studying living brain or brain-like tissue
Medial research helping with treating mental and neurological brain diseases
Psychencode
Ethical implications of studying the brain
How Temperton takes care of his brain
