I appreciated the way the nervous system and the compartments of the brain were simplified. The idea that there are boxes inside of boxes allows for an understanding of what's going on inside the head without getting too involved and leaving room for intriguing questions.

What really interested me was the concept that genes and culture may effect the organization of the nervous system. That made me think whether the arrangement of my compartments were different from the person next to me. Also, it explains how two people with the same input may have a different output. This concept explains why certain things may be offensive in one culture but acceptable in another. But what also seems worth thinking about is, what is it that changes in the brain?? chemicals?? And is it ever too late to change one's "setup" persay?
