Extract

The brain is one of the most highly organized structures in the known universe. It is a biological computer which has evolved over a billion years to program, monitor and control all bodily functions. It is also the organ of knowing, feeling and thinking. To understand how the brain works is perhaps the most difficult of all scientific problems. A scientific theory of the brain would provide a comprehensive understanding of a substantial body of facts on the basis of a few fundamental principles. In this sense, there is no theory of the brain.
