Brain Research - Implications in Science, Engineering and Society

The brain is one of the most connected organs of an organism. It directly connects to all the organs through a network of neurons. The brain interacts with the body through a combination of electrochemical and chemical processes. The brain also controls the body indirectly through hormones and neuropeptides. Similarly, the body also controls the brain by modulating its function through indirect and direct means.
