What struck me the most about Thursday's class has to be the different trains of thought when talking about the brain/mind dualism. I believe it was so interesting to me behind of my overall lack of knowledge of neurobiology and its connection to behavior. Though I found the trains of thought of Descartes, Dickinson, Crick, Ramachandran and even Grobstein interesting, I voted for the Dickinson et al mindset that its all brain/neurons/matter but thinking back,  I am unsure/on the fence. I made this switch because I found it kind of disconcerting to think in Dickinson's terms that everything we see is only constructions of the brain and nothing more but I also agree with Crick that there may not be a mind in addition to the brain. 

I hope that throughout this course I am able to make the distinction between the mind and the brain (if there even is one).
