As we all continue to see, the investigation of the brain is going to be like what the heart has been over the last 20-30 years. The knowledge gained and the amount of techniques doctors have to treat diseases and other issues will go through the roof. I know I am biased (my wife is a Neurologist), but I also recognized this in college as a Biomedical and Electrical Engineer (I learned the body as a machine with my classmates). The brain's mysteries are beginning to slowly unravel - soon we will have treatments and cures for Alzheimers, Parkinsons, and other. Soon, deeper mysteries about personality (and maybe even person) will be revealed. Its an exciting time.
