(On a molecular level) Where do & how do thoughts in the brain manifest??

Answer 1

Your question is so like mine!

Answer 2

the cerebellum, or the Medulla oblongata, one of the two. I read about it in a book called Are we Unique by James Trefil. The brain is at a basal level a complex nerwork of neurons and is itself divided into regions. Each region is in charge of a particular function, like sight, hearing, that sort of thing. I'll go back to the book and tell you more. The brain is pretty mugh a network of nerves in a chemocal soup that's made up of hormones, electrolytes, pretty much chemical in nature. Thought in itself is a process of controlled firing of some of these neurons to create logical patterns. The "manifestation" may be a sensation, like pain or pleasure, or an image like in memory. It may also be a random creation like thinking about George Bush with wings and a halo singing "Ode to Joy".

Answer 3

On a molecular level, thoughts require energy and energy is transferred by electrons, especially when chemical reactions occur at synapses. In a way our thoughts reside in a cloud of electrons and memories must be reproduced anew every second as electrons flow in myriad tiny currents. Removing all the electrons would be a thoughtless act.

Answer 4

Recent school of thought recon that the memory is not the storage of information in the cells...but...the actual pathways taken by the electrical charge between the tendrils on the soma membrane. This would allow for an infinite number of different memories. Work out the possibilities!!!
