We learned that the brain makes informed guesses (it makes up things), and that it uses many different structures and factors (past experiences, output, inputs, environment etc.) in order to interpret the world around us. I find it interesting that as I’m starting to understand the brain better, and its function as well as the link to behavior, the mysteries of the brain is not decreasing. There are still many questions left, many gaps, many problems in explaining our behavior. It seems like the actual answers will never be there, not only because of the summary of observation model that we use but also because of the brain itself. We can never know which of the many many factors influencing our behavior was most important, we can know which parts of the brain were important but we cannot account for everything. Knowledge about the brain will help us understand each individual better (make an informed guess about the brain) but it seems like we will never be able to fully explain everything.
