Brain disorders/diseases are devastating, dramatically increasing in prevalence, and currently incurable. Cost of care is dramatically increasing where it is becoming unsustainable for the society both fi. What if the brain works like a circuit? If we can find what is wrong with the brain circuit, we can fix the brain like we fix electronic circuits.
