      There’s just something amazing about how the brain controls everything we do – it gives us our consciousness, gives us the power of thought, controls our bodies, reminds us to breathe when we sleep, everything! But when something goes wrong with the brain, it has terrible consequences for the person. I want to understand how brains *should* work, so that we can do our best to help doctors figure out what happens when the brain goes wrong – and help them decide what to do to try to fix it!
