Five things brain 2014

In a nutshell:

1. The brain may be highly affected by the gut microbiome.
2. Scientists were able to plant false memories and remove existing memories in the hippocampus, an area of the brain associated with the formation and encoding of memories (well, in the brains of mice for now…)
3. The idea of telepathy isn't just the stuff of science fiction.
4. Brain cells were replicated in order to study Alzheimer's.
5. Scientists realized just how little we really know about the brain… we still lack the understanding of the big picture and a theoretical framework in which to place all the data
