The New Map Of The Brain
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1580416,00.html
This is a very interesting article about the way the brain is mapped out and what is known about the brain. A fascinating point that was made is "the struggle of the mind to fathom the brain it inhabits is the most circular kind of search--the cognitive equivalent of M.C. Escher's lithograph of two hands drawing one another". The brain is now divided into multiple discrete regions, but still little is known about how when you have a problem with one part of the brain another part seems to help that area out. It is also still unknown about the part of the brain that controls conciousness, which tells us where we are and what we are doing.
