Re: Consciousness, Nervous system, Psychedelics

The central nervous system is simply our current and best approximation at how it all works. A large and interconnected network of chemo electric signals.

The brain is not seperate from the CNS, but is part of it. There are little roads of signal... like the "drives" and "trails" in our neighborhoods. There are major roads and highways into which they feed, cranial nerves, vagus nerve, spinal column... like the Interstates and so forth. There is a central hub... like grand central station... that's the brain.

It's all part of one system, fully interconnected, but it's simply our best current guess at what is happening in there.

What's IN there? What's OUT there? That's the philosophy side of the equation.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
