How does the brain work in an analogical sense?
These happen at these circuits, and those happen there. They do or are activated, when something visits. There are electrical signals in the conveyance of these visits. Chemical signals are released sequentially, per location.
There are two major cells in the brain, predominant nerve cells, and supportive glial. Mobility is abundant but the most important transport in the central nervous system, theoretically, is thought.
There are various reasons why mammals sleep, but one other answer is thought.
Why, because there can only be one active thought on the mind at any moment, but countless passive thoughts. Any internal activity or externally sensed process can become an active thought — which goes to the memory, then to the spot for feeling effect.
Everything has to be an active thought per cycle, so during sleep some get to and during wakefulness others do. This makes too much sleep or sleep deprivation problematic as some parts are denied becoming active thoughts.
Just like the legs, hands or eyes don’t feel ready just after waking up or say not becoming active thought for a while, so are many other random parts of the body unready after long waking hours, since they stayed as passive thoughts not becoming active.
Active thoughts interchange makes it important to switch position during sleep or regularly from side to side.
During rest or some relaxation, where the eyes are closed, active thoughts swings to other areas and the memory may give a refreshing feeling, almost equal to sleep as other parts became active, from passive.
There are addictive usages that easily convert most of what should be active thoughts to passive, automatically removing feeling effect of things from where they were. The new active thought may then bring the best feeling, or not, but at least removes from accumulation spot of being down and so on. The memory gravitates toward eases from active thought, making usages repeatedly desired.
Since most thoughts become passive, they are able to easily switch up towards the area where feeling effects are during sleep, making it common to pass out, or worse.
Drugs are biochemical so they can have a direct impact on base feeling, more like how hormones cause base feeling. There is often a thought equivalent of this that causes feeling effect. Psychoactive substances are able to converge both and direct, regular than usual.
There is nothing that happens in the body that cannot be explained by thoughts, active or passive. It is not what nerve cells are but the thoughts they bear.
Thoughts service the memory. The memory makes determinations, efforts and diversions. It is what the memory gives that points what to do. It is where the memory sends that feelings go. Thoughts present, memory decides. Feel like, anxious, depressed, disorders and so on, are largely memory routes.
Secretions and so on are lower level because the memory has an allowance — disallowing function that says what should be or not. Engaging thoughts could emerge from the memory, overriding an intense feeling to sleep, eat and so on.
Good situation or bad at some point often does not feel the same way after a while because their initial active thought and engagement, over time gets passive, so while it may be remembered or experienced, it may not always go to the spot of feeling effect in the initial way.
Automatic and controlled processes happen from the memory — all in the form of thought, active or passive. The memory may give a thought, automatically, or there could be control or decision to seek out something known.
Anything happening at any part of the body has to reach the memory. The memory may or may not know — initially, but it gets there. What gets to the memory is thought or a form of thought.
It is the thought version of anything that is stored, grouped and given in situations.
This makes the memory super powerful, so that it is not just to be hungry, cold, sleepy, or anything else by biochemical processes, but by the memory acceding, since it had stored what it was and has to give it for feeling effects to make it seem so.
There is the fear circuit in the brain, activated when an active thought gets there.
Beyond the fear circuit is death.
If death isn’t in the brain, no one would die.
Theoretically, one reason why reaction is often totalized during danger is to avoid thoughts from getting to where death is, from the fear circuit.
There are at least two death centers in the brain — below the fear circuit, and above the circuit where feelings are determined during sleep.
In this sleep circuit, thoughts also go there during coma, overdose and general anesthesia. There, regular passive thoughts become active, but are shorter than normal. Brain death is when the ability for most passive thoughts to become active wanes, except with support. An inch from brain death is death.
Resuscitation can be said to be a sensory input process to convert to thought so that it becomes active to take away from the death spot.
Thought returns to regular circuits, life returns.
Sometimes, people unbelievably survive certain situations because thoughts didn’t go to the death circuit. Some die suddenly in some situations because it did, including certain shocks.
Just like someone can pause thoughts to listen to a low sound, pay attention or expect pain is how someone could hold active thoughts from going to the death spot, holding on, until not possible and letting go.
Elderly people are closer to death because with a lot of rest, active thoughts ratio dwindles for certain parts of the body, making them passive while others become more regularly active towards the sleep circuit.
The active thought may find it easier to go further up bit by bit from the sleep zone and one time get to the mark, making an old person transition.
This sometimes applies during certain illnesses as well.
Aging, theoretically, is a problem of lack of enough active thoughts for many parts. It is also due to heavy feeling effect over a long period, down, at instances, taking optimal attention from other parts of the body.
The brain works according to where thoughts go.
Neural networks aren’t the most important find to simulate for the brain. Thought for robotics holds promise in what can at least give some emotions to robots, so that in assisting people, they have their own functional emotions.
