Ever wonder why it is that as a medically and scientifically advanced people, we know generally everything there is to know about all of the organs in the body besides the brain?

Why is it that we know about heart transplants, blood transfusions, pancreatic function, pulmonary disease, etc., yet we struggle to know how the brain works? I think it is less of a scientific question and more of a religion answer.

Primarily, I think that much of how far we’ve come as a scientific community was significantly driven and funded (and allowed) by the people in charge– and up until the last few centuries, the people in charge have also been the people who lead us not into temptation.
