A MESSAGE FROM THE FUTURE

Increased understanding of executive functioning and reward processing in the brain has led to improved self-control and a reduction in drug addiction and obesity in our world of 2073. Despite all these advances, we still know much less about the brain than about the heart, the kidney, or the lung.

Many brain-related innovations from imaginative minds that were introduced to us by-way-of old fashioned science fiction movies and holographic virtuals are still becoming reality

As a result we have made progress in amygdaling, serotoning, neural dust, groking and neural enhancement. Archaic invasive brain surgeries have been replaced by noninvasive technologies

Artificial Intelligence and the human brain have learned to live together in peace. They have a symbiotic relationship where they enhance each other for mutual benefit.

Understanding of brain-machine interfaces and nervous system replacement parts has advanced at a ballistic rate, as well as their integration into everyday life. The publication in 2052 of The Neuroethics of Altering Memories, Enhancing Cognition, and Reading Minds has led to much controversy and debate. Many of the advances in neuroscience are misused which has led to a surge in the fields of neuroethics and neurolaw

There are many more wondrous developments in this Golden Age of Neuroscience, but we still have not solved the mystery of consciousness.
