Conclusion: How Does the Brain Work?
-
Cellular logic allows information processing.
-
Cellular memory allows the cerebral cortex to store information and make permanent changes to its functionality.
-
Call networks are responsible for the cerebral cortex’s flexible and adaptive behavior, and our ability to use syntax.
-
Cortical images allow the brain to represent semantic information symbolically, and hence, allows language to hold meaning.
