Brain Windows

I found an ARTICLE from 2016 which talks about new breakthroughs in medical science that may allow researchers and doctors to look into Brain Synapses, the messaging points between brain cells where signals can pass from one neuron to thousands of others.

The implications here are largely to do with mental illness where people lose too many of these synapses.

This technology would allow better help and prevention for illnesses such as  patients with epilepsy, depression, Alzheimer’s, and autism.

What do you think?
Is this exciting?
Too dangerous?
A slippery slope?
Or will this be as groundbreaking as when X-rays, MRI’s and other technology was discovered?
