    Greetings, I am from Kosovo in Southeastern Europe. I am student in the last year in the Faculty of Medicine University of Prishtina KOSOVA.

    I have a special interest in neuroscience, particularlly neuroanatomy, and am currentlly working on a web site: http://www.neuroanatomia.tk
    I really respect your work, and it is very interesting to surf your blog. It is a pleasure for me to put a link to your blog on my web side.

    I wanted to send you this from Hippocrates, it is probably someone will have read about it erlier. Attributed to Hippocrates, Fifth Century, B.C. (adapted
    from Principles of Neural Science 4th edition, by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz, and Thomas M. Jessell. ©2000 McGraw-Hill.

    “Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pain griefs and tears.
    Throw it in particular, we think, see, hear, we distinguish the ugly form beautiful, the bad from the good, the pleasant from the unpleasant……. It is the
    same think which make as mad or delirious, inspires us with dread and fear, whether bu night or by day, brings sleeplessness inopportune mistakes, aimless
    anxieties, absent-mindedness and acts that are contrary to habits. This thinks that we suffer all come from the brain, wen it is not healthy, but become
    abnormally hot, cold, moist, or dry, or suffers any other unnatural affection to which it was not accustomed. Madness comes from its moistness. When the
    brain is abnormally moist of necessity it moves, and when it moves neither sight nor hearing are still, but we see or hear now one think and now another,
    and the tongue speaks in accordance with the things seen and heard on any occasion. But all the time the brain is still, a men can think properly.”

    With respect

    Yes: minds are what brains do. Sometimes you can see that ‘the mind’ is holographic - or reality is holographic: crystal clear and perhaps ‘not there at all.’
    These moments lighten the load we need not carry. Please see spiritual psychology for a quantum perspective. Geoff.

    With great respect to the brilliant work of the most respected neuroscientist Santiago Ramon Y Cajal.

    “Like the entomologist in search of brightly colored butterflies, my attention hunted, in the garden of the gray matter, cells with delicate and elegant form,
    the mysterious butterflies of the soul.” Santiago Ramon Y Cajal (1935)

    Neuronal networks on silicon chip. “Semiconductors with Brain”
    Both, computers and brains work electrically. However, their charge carriers are
    different – electrons in solid silicon and ions in liquid water. It is an intellectual and
    technological challenge to join these different systems directly on the level of electronic
    and ionic signals. Already in the 18th century, Luigi Galvani established the
    electrical coupling of inorganic solids and excitable living tissue.
    Today, after fifty years of dramatic developments in semiconductor
    microtechnology and cellular neurobiology, we may envisage a multisite integration of
    microionics and microelectronics with numerous nerve cells and microelectronic
    devices. Peter Fromherz
    Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry
    Department of Membrane and Neurophysics
    Martinsried / München
    The researchers under Peter Fromherz have reported this news in the online edition
    of the Journal of Neurophysiology (May 10, 2006).
