The use of the word "tissue" seems a bit out of place when referrring to neuroanatomy. Tissue is most often associated with musculature or Kleenex.

If some of the local nervous tissue dies, certains cells are no longer part of the loop and will become more vulnerable to things like cancer.

I've never ever in my life heard of cancer of the nervous system... maybe spinal cancer, but not dendritic, ganglion, axon hillock or other such cancers. Please advise where I can learn more about this.

Each nervous cell has a little brain on its own. The local nervous tissue has some autonomy with respect to single cell control.

This doesn't seem accurate either. Each cell is enormously dependent on those around it, and "no cell is an island." I'm concerned that you are launching your ideas off false assumptions, which would ruin the accuracy of your theory.

A timer in the brain, periocially allows system wide changes to help coordinate such things as puberty, pregnancy, etc. This is not to discount the affect of the DNA, which is another part of the fail-safe control system. But on the other hand, thing like the delayed onset of puberty could be the brain overriding the DNA because extented environmental feedback (beyond the DNA) may require the DNA's timing be delayed.

The brain is generated through DNA also... but this too sounds quite off base. If I want to be 10 feet tall, and use lots and lots of mental energy contemplating this, I'll still be limited to the 6 feet tall imposed by my DNA.
Are you referring to... No, never mind. I really don't know.

To summarize, either local nervous tissue is purely decorative or it does what it does best, thinks, senses and transmits. If it thinks, senses and tranmits, it plays a role in helping the cells maintain themselves, so the brain's big picture of the body is maintained. The easiest way is via the ionic potentials that exsit on the surfaces of nervous tissue and neurons.

Well, I do hereby cast my vote that it's not purely decorative.
Also, the easiest way to what?

We need to open the blackbox, take the two know tissues out, add the third nervous tissue, and then throw the blackbox into the garbage. Lets make biology a rational science. I could handle a gray box with logic leading empirical data and not the other way around.

So biology is not a science for you, but to call the entire branch of science irrational is WAY overstating whatever case it is you're trying to make.
