Science
is a journey into the unseen, the hidden, the unknown. It’s a journey into the
human brain to uncover the neural connections that guide our behavior in the
dark, outside the light of conscious awareness. Seismic forces, slowly shifting
tectonic plates, the earth remaking itself, are happening beneath our feet, and
we above want to know how. So many of the answers are out of sight, but in
this issue of Nautilus, we’re going into the
underworlds to find them.
