[neuronic]

Despite the overly inflated ego of many neurosurgeons, neurologists and neuroscientists we have no conclusive picture about the brain as a working system.

We just have a few pieces of a puzzle and no idea what the overall image actually is. Neuroplasticity and adaptivity make this even harder because often you can't just take a part away like in a car and pinpoint issues due to the absence or disturbance of these parts.

If you knockout an area and a patient loses smell, will you say that you found the "center" of smell? We are still poking at the brain and figuring out its responses.
