Some of the yet unsolved problems of neuroscience include:
Self awareness: What is the neuronal basis of subjective experience,
wakefulness, alertness, arousal and attention? What is its function?
Perception: How does the brain transfer sensory information into
coherent, private percepts? What are the rules by which perception is
organized? What are the features/objects that constitute our
perceptual experience of internal and external events?
How are the senses integrated? Is face perception special (e.g.
innate)? What is the relationship between subjective experience and
the physical world?
Learning and Memory: Where do our memories get stored and how are they
retrieved again? How can learning be improved? What is the difference
between explicit and implicit memories?
Neuroplasticity: How plastic is the mature brain?
Development and evolution: How and why did the brain evolve (the way
it did)? What are the molecular determinants of individual brain
development?
Sleep: Why do we dream? What are the underlying brain mechanisms? What
is its relation to anesthesia?

HOw do you define 'desease' of the mind? I mean, isn't the only way using
statistical norms? That dismisses uniqueness out of hand from the getgo.
Oh, and Sir...there's other things than magic for us spiritual guys. ONce
again, for the umpteenth time...I offer a simple word and idea
here....STATE. Whatever you depict as logical and reasonable...
