Don't suffer from questioning about what
it is we are actually doing on this earth and how things just 'happen'. Think of this curiosity as a
beautiful thing. There are so many pieces to this puzzle that you can find along the
way. The bigger picture can be intimidating sometimes. But you can't look at the disassembled puzzle and give up or feel shit because not everything is in the place from the start. You have the time. You can solve these things step
by step, truly experiencing every realization that life has to offer. And I feel that what you could find out while solving these things is that there is something more than the mere satisfaction of completion beyond
that finish line. Maybe you'll see that there is no such thing as a finish line, there's no such thing as everything being ‘over’. Everything might just be transformed and strangely connected. Don’t attach yourself so much
to what you do or do not have. Let it flow. Embrace that flow despite emotional conflict.
There are three major theories on how the brain is organized, in terms of its structure and function. Phrenology was proposed by Gall in the late 18th century who thought it was possible to determine character traits by examining the external bumps on the head. All behavior/mental function was assigned a location in the brain, and using more or less of these regions determined these bumps. The aggregate field view was raised by Flourens (1920s) using experimental evidence that showed that all areas are important for each mental function. So any part can perform all functions and there was no localization. Cellular connectionism (supported by Hughlings Jackson, Wernicke, Sherrington, Ramon y Cajal) states that individual neurons are signalling units that are arranged in groups, each having a particular function.
