Which story fits for brain=behavior?
For as long as I can remember, I have always considered the brain a mysterious and complex piece of matter. Neurons (which include dendrites, axons, cell bodies) receive and send neural impulses and trigger organisms' to react a certain way (their behavior). However, I have been found guilty of believing what scientists around me consider to be the "truth." Never have I asked to see a summary of their observations! With this in mind, I would be really interested to become familiar with observations that prove why Descartes' story could be correct. What determines how we behave? Is it biological aspects that determines how our brain functions or is it vice versa?
