The question of ""what is thought"" has intrigued society for ages, yet it is still a puzzle how the human brain can produce a myriad of thoughts and can store seemingly endless memories. All we know is that sensations received from the outside world imprint some sort of "molecular signatures" in neurons - or perhaps synapses - for future retrieval. What are these molecular signatures, and how are they made? How are thoughts generated and stored in neurons? The Biology of Thought explores these issues and proposes a new molecular model that sheds light on the basis of human thought. Step-by-step it describes a new hypothesis for how thought is produced at the micro-level in the brain - right at the neuron. Despite its many advances, the neurobiology field lacks a
comprehensive explanation of the fundamental aspects of thought
generation at the neuron level, and its relation to intelligence
and memory. Derived from existing research in the field, this book
attempts to lay biological foundations for this phenomenon through
a novel mechanism termed the ""Molecular-Grid Model"" that may
explain how biological electrochemical events occurring at the
neuron interact to generate thoughts. The proposed molecular model
is a testable hypothesis that hopes to change the way we understand
critical brain function, and provides a starting point for major
advances in this field that will be of interest to neuroscientists
the world over.
