After class I thought more about the idea that all brains are made of the same stuff with some well characterized connections but that this idea of plasticity within the brain allows for differences between people. So I read an article in Scientific American Mind about a new discovery of jumping DNA as a potential reason for neuronal plasticity and differences between people's brains which could create the individuality in personalities we seewww.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm. This would be molecular evidence against the idea that there is a separate soul/mind.

I find the idea of the "I function" fascinating and I am excited to learn more about this. The idea that the mind can assess itself or that you can view you outside of your brain is suggestive of a second brain(mind/soul).
