On writing review papers

I am having a wonderful time researching and writing a review on our understanding of epilepsy and brain stimulation. It is fascinating to read the literature in chronological order. You can see discrete stages in which the shared mental frameworks used to describe neurophysiologic phenomena evolve. During the 80s, the Lyapunov exponential method was en vogue, using oscillatory states to describe seizures. More complex and dynamic models then emerged. Now, machine learning algorithms are permeating the literature. I find it interesting how the scientific community is open to increasingly complex and less elegant descriptions of neuronal activities, likely since simpler models cannot reproduce what we see in nature. I am excited to see what the next decade will bring to our mental frameworks and the language we use to discuss these topics.
