Description:	Current Controversies in Medicine Continuing advancements in neuroscience have increased our capability and capacity to understand individuals’ motivations, desires, emotions, and characteristics. While discoveries in neuroscience improve our ability to diagnose and treat brain disorders, they may also have the potential to alter personalities and behavior, significantly increase mental performance, or identify very personal information that could be released or used inappropriately. In the emerging field of Neuroethics, what are the legal and social questions arising when scientific findings about the brain are carried into medical practice, the legal arena, and health and social policy? Compelling ethical questions involving free will, self-determination, neuroimaging, neuroenhancement, informed consent, privacy concerns, and social policy will be explored. http://odoerdb2-1.od.nih.gov/oer/training/step
