Consciousness is somehow a by-product of the simultaneous, high frequency firing of neurons in different parts of the brain. It's the meshing of these frequencies that generates consciousness, just as tones from individual instruments produce the rich, complex, & seamless sounds of a symphony orchestra
God designed the stomach to eject what is bad for it, but not the human brain.
The cells and fibers of the brain must carry some kind of individual identification tags, presumably cytochemical in nature, by which they are distinguished one from another almost, in many regions, to the level of the single neurons.
With all its technical sophistication, the photographic camera remains a coarse device compared to the human hand and brain.
I have no culture, no humane harmony in my brains. I can't live without a culture anymore.
Does the brain control you or are you controlling the brain? I don't know if I'm in charge of mine.
Conservatism is not a political ideology, it is a severe form of brain damage for which there's hardly any cure.
You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles. . . there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

Ineffective or weak brain connections are pruned in much the same way a gardener would prune a tree or bush, giving the plant a desired shape.
I have two secret weapons -- my legs, my arms and my brain.
More may have been learned about the brain and the mind in the 1990s - the so-called decade of the brain - than during the entire previous history of psychology and neuroscience.
The prescribers very often overstate, oversell, and the detail people are only too happy to tell them to do that. This idea that there's something wrong with your brain, and by the way, almost never are these antidepressant medications evaluated with what will happen if you're on them for three, four, five, 10, 15 years. Sometimes some of the side effects that come up come up only later, and sometimes they're very severe, even irreversible side effects.
In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.
I like the way dreams present themselves as words and images that are trying to get your attention using your model-making brain's ability to make up stories.
Brain against brute force - and brain came out on the top - as its bound to do.
- My instructors in science and technology have taught us about how the brain works. It's full of electrical impulses. It's like a computer. If you stimulate one part of the brain with an electrode, it. . . - They know nothing.
What about my brain? What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?
In Britain, an attractive woman is somehow suspect. If there is talent as well, it is overshadowed. Beauty and brains just can't be entertained; someone has been too extravagant. This does not happen in America or on the Continent, for the looks of a woman are considered a positive advertisement for her gifts and don't detract from them.
Your brain does not understand what you are capable of. There is way more inside of you than you can imagine.
