This section on Human Brain Research and Ethics is comprised of four chapters: Chaps. 71, “Clinical Translation in Central Nervous System Diseases: Ethical and Social Challenges”; 72, “Ethics of Sham Surgery in Clinical Trials for Neurologic Disease”; 73, “Research in Neuroenhancement”; and 74, “Brain Research on Morality and Cognition”. The chapters cover a range of important ethical issues encountered in human brain research. This includes discussions regarding how current understandings of research ethics can be applied to translational clinical research in brain research, the ethical challenges faced when considering research related to neuroenhancement, and the relationship of human brain research to our basic understandings of morality and cognition.
