Rayilyn: Greetings from K-F. I too watched the program and I thought it was good but not great. As for your reaction, I think You assume that a complete understanding of how things work is needed to affect a cure.That really is not necessary. If you consider just about any successful medical procedure our understanding of the "cure" is usually incomplete. Do we know in detail what causes cancer? No, but we can slow down or arrest many cancers just the same. Sometimes medications are effective but it is not known why. So like in many other diseases I think there is some hope of improving things dramatically, but probably not completely or without some unpleasant side effects. I think that provides actually a quite nice glimmer of hope.

However, I"m a little depressed - how are they ever going to figure us out? The brain is so magnificent and complex, but if something goes wrong - disaster. Looking forward to next segments.
