i am citing an article from the university of california, berkley dated january 17, 2018 that is featured research entitled “tracking thoughts moving through the brain.” the authors described “a universal signature of activity centered in the prefrontal lobe that links perception and action. it’s the glue of cognition.” using electrocorticography which records from hundreds of electrodes placed on the surface of the exposed brain of epilepsy patients, they detected “activity in the thin outer region, the cortex, where thinking occurs.”
i pose a question based on this finding: how does the “glue of cognition” occuring in the “thin outer region of the cortex” relate to thinking by the immaterial mind and the apical dendritic tufts of the pyramidal neural columns located in this region of the brain? is it a dual interactive relationship? in subsequent blogs i shall comment further on this issue, identifying a probable role of apical dendritic tufts in thinking. please stand by, and thank you.
