Can the functions of the brain be divided meaningfully into chemical and electrical properties? - are there any other ways in which the brain works?
Can thought be organized into these properties?

The brain is mostly electrical within a single neuron, and chemical between neruons - where the neurotransmitters come in. Then there are hormones and chemicals in the body that modulate different things, glandular that affect the nerve system over the whole body, like adrenaline.

Yes I guess you could.....but we know it is far more complicated than that. Though there appears on the surface to only chemical and electrical reactions in the brain....the amazing things those processes do cannot be explained often in even complex terms.....there is so much that is unknown......talk about the final frontier.
