We do not have cures for the vast majority of brain illnesses, from Alzheimer's to depression, and many medications we do have to treat the brain are derived from drugs produced in the 1950s—before we knew much about the brain at all. Tackling brain disorders is clearly one of the biggest challenges facing humanity today. What will it take to overcome it? Nicole Rust takes readers along on her personal journey to answer this question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her decades of experience on the front lines of neuroscience research, Rust reflects on how far we have come in our quest to unlock the secrets of the brain and what remains to be discovered. She shows us that treating a brain disorder is more like redirecting a hurricane than fixing a domino chain of cause and effect, arguing that only once we embrace the idea of the brain as a complex system do we have any hope of finding cures. Rust profiles the pioneering ideas about the brain that are driving research at the cutting edge to illuminate exactly how much we know about disorders such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, addiction, schizophrenia, and anxiety—and what it will take to eradicate these scourges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eElusive Cures\u003c\/em\u003e sheds light on one of the most daunting challenges ever confronted by science while offering hope for revolutionary new treatments and cures for the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854474236140,"sku":"9780691243054","price":57.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0d89d1c7a32024c8f3352c1f15a53a4a.jpg?v=1759269713"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/professor-nicole-rust.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
