How well though?  It seems to me there's usually still a lot to learn, and sometimes it turns out we didn't understand something as well as we thought we did.

Not specifically related to this topic, but I think one thing we still might not understand very well about the brain is, where does consciousness come from (and really, what exactly is consciousness)?
