It is impossible to know how the human brain works without using PET, MRI, fMRI or PET/CT.

1977 First MRI human scan

We are still beginning to learn how the human brain works
Grand Challenge Grand Challenge: How Does the Human Brain Work and Produce Mental Activity? (2008) In the deepest sense, we do not know how information is processed, stored, or recalled; how motor commands emerge and become effective; how we experience the sensory world; how we think or feel or empathize. This is because explanations ultimately must be integrated across levels of analysis, including: molecular, cellular, synaptic, circuit, systems, computational, and psychological, and until now the field has not been mature enough to integrate information across all these disciplines.
How could anyone be so sure about how the brain works in the 1960s?

Comments to the rules of mind mapping Tony Buzan
Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors. Why not 2 or 4?
Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map. Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.
Only if you use the mind map to memorize information, for brainstorming or for creativity. Not to analyze complex problems, to communicate or archive complex information.
Each word/image is best alone and sitting on its own line. Why?
The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The lines become thinner as they radiate out from the center. There is no need for broader and thinner lines.
Make the lines the same length as the word/image they support. Use multiple colors throughout the mind map, for visual stimulation and also
for encoding or grouping. Develop your own personal style of mind mapping.
How can you do this if you have to follow these strict rules? Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map. Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy or outlines to embrace
your branches. C) Infoseg, S.A. 2016 http://bit.ly/1Eimh3k
