Billions of neurons communicate with each other via trillions of pathways called 'synapses'. The pattern of electrical activity that this creates is what gives rise to everything we do and think and how we feel. However, we understand but a handful of these patterns and how they relate to various states of consciousness and mental tasks . The biggest challenge neuroscientists face is decoding what these patterns mean and then inventing ways of manipulating them for therapeutic purposes.
