AB THE  LAST  FRONTIER  OF  THE  BIOLOGICAL  SCIENCES—the  ultimate  challenge—is  to  understand  the  biological  basis  of  consciousness  and  the  brain  processes  by  which  we  feel,  act,  learn,  and  remember.  During  the  past  few  decades,  a  remarkable  unification  within  the  biological  sciences  has  set  the  stage  for  addressing  this  great  challenge.  The  ability  to  sequence  genes  and  infer  the  amino  acid  sequences  of  the  proteins  they  encode  has  revealed  unanticipated  similarities  between  proteins  in  the  nervous  system  and  those  encountered  elsewhere  in  the  body.  As  a  result,  it  has  become  possible  to  establish  a  general  plan  for  the  function  of  cells,  a  plan  that  provides  a  common  conceptual  framework  for  all  of  cell  biology,  including  cellular  neural  science.
