摘要：The brain is the organ responsible for two noticeable abilities, to think and to behave, the two of which are dependent on the capability to learn and to store the acquired information. The evident advances of the Neurosciences in the past few years has allowed the discovery of the mechanism underlying those processes, but many other aspects still wait for a discovery. Reasonable information is available on neuronal architecture and neuronal connecting processes, as well as on cerebral structures related with the generation and storage of the different types of memory. These findings have opened a path for the developing of drugs related to those neural processes. On the other hand, science fiction and media influences have potentiated the survival of several legends regarding the nervous system extraordinary capabilities: from considering the brain as a computer to accepting that it is a plastic structure with unlimited capabilities.
