When we understand a lot more of the brain's chemistry and function and the receptors and what they do...

That's a fricken 0x7fff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff way away...

There was a feature in New Scientist not long ago (within the past 18 months), I think it was entitled something like "The Ultimate Key: Understanding the Brain" or something of that elk. Google turned up nothing but this.

Basically, NS concluded that despite all the research, we basically don't know how the brain works on a biochemical level. I agree.

We know there are four messenger molecules (i.e. seretonin, etc.) and a bunch of other flagging chemicals, but we really don't know what they mean in what context. Using drugs on the brain (e.g. seretonin reuptake inhibitors, and other chemicals that affects the other messnger molecules) seem like to me to be using a blowtorch and monkey's wrench on a computer. But that might be the best tools we have so far.
