>>13499653Ya but that goes to the advantage of my not being a doctor or med student. If I were either, I'd have to know how everything fits together on the chemical/biological standpoint. (they'd have to know the nuts and bolts).
For my purpose, I'm more interested in the overall process. So how the CNS connects downstream to the body (while interesting) is immaterial for the kind of things I'm working on.
In the video I linked, I was looking at it strictly as an electrical diagram; noticing how there are biological equivalents to standard automation tools such as latches, one-way valves, and wave functions.
I was watching another video on the biology of the brain and it was the same thing; only in that case I was considering it from an electrical and hydraulic standpoint. In particular, how the "main hookup" (for lack of a better concept) to the body has the myelinated axons (with the software connections having non-myelinated), or especially how the fluid chambers within the brain can conceivably change the electrical characteristics of the bordering neurons.
In short, the brain is a biological/analog differential machine; very similar to the mechanical versions of the same; with the same types of functionality creating a similar larger system.
At some point I need to hunt down a video which goes into detail on where each branch (forget the term) splits off in the brain and what each function is. By understanding brain evolution it's almost certainly going to help in the overall design of a system which operates in a similar way.
Finally, I am also finding a striking similarity between brain function and quantum computers; which would explain a whole lot in terms of how the brain functions on its basic level
