Although I read with fascination about brain neuroscience, I have never yet looked at the diagrams showing areas of the brain by function, with any sense of understanding, recognition or meaning.  The information does not ‘click’ and form understanding in the way I am used to.  I have no such trouble with, say, diagrams of structures and functions within a worm, or the periodic table.  My brain seems unwilling to construct a map of a brain.  Am I just slow to pick up a new idea, or is this a case of consciousness causing collapse?  Is anyone working on concepts (narratives, analogies, models) to help the scientifically literate, but non-specialist, to grasp and recall the ideas?
