You use leeches for medical care until something better comes along - they DID help with high blood pressure!

I agree, we haven't even begun to understand the complexities involved. But the brain isn't "just another organ." We know essentially
nothing about the brain, compared with the rest of the body. Medicine involving the brain isn't "like" anything else. Thought, memory, processing--we're only beginning to glimpse what's involved.
Leeches, btw, are still being used--haven't been improved on.
