In "Elusive Cures," Nicole Rust explores the slow progress in treating brain disorders despite advancements in neuroscience over the last 40 years. With over a billion individuals suffering from mental illnesses and brain diseases imposing significant economic burdens, Rust argues that the historical approach of viewing the brain as a static entity hindered progress. By advocating for a perspective that sees the brain as a dynamic, adaptable system, she emphasizes the need to rethink traditional paradigms like the 'one gene, one drug' hypothesis, to better understand the intricate connections between genetic factors and mental health.
Elusive Cures argues that the complex, dynamic nature of the brain must be understood to advance treatment of mental and brain disorders effectively.
Nicole Rust contends that previous approaches, likened to a 'broken domino chain,' oversimplify the relationship between genes, brain function, and mental disorders.
