Ethical considerations in neuroscience apply to technologies designed for cognitive enhancement as well as interventions used to treat neurological disorders.

### Why this is right The material states that growing neuroscience knowledge increases the importance of ethical discussions about brain intervention and enhancement. This is presented as a consideration alongside therapeutic potential. ### The concept Neuroscience may inform treatments for neurological and psychiatric conditions, but interventions can raise ethical questions. Scientific possibilities therefore need consideration of their consequences and appropriate use. ### Terms - **Brain intervention**: an action intended to alter brain function. - **Enhancement**: an attempt to improve a capacity beyond treating a disorder. ### Remember Therapeutic promise and ethical responsibility develop together.
