General overview of brain topics. The brain is a physical partnership of the mind/brain/body framework.

The brain/body physical relationship shares 10s of trillion physical pathways where as the mind/body shares virtual pathways and is considered a spiritual relationship because a person apprehends and experience it but science cannot measure it or isolate it separate from the conscious brain . Said another way, the brain/body is physical and the mind/brain is meta-physical where meta-physical is something that is not explainable by the laws of physics.

Neurology and Cognitive science has provided experimental proof mostly by the use of fMRI tracing technology to explain the numerous relationship between the many special and complex components in the brain structure. This structure has two major divisions: the conscious and the unconscious. The unconscious is considered the oldest most primitive part the brain and contain the limbic system ; it is also called the lizard part of the brain because it is very like a lizard’s brain.

This conscious part of the brain is the biggest part called the cortex; it is considered the newest part of the brain and has numerous sensory parts as well as specialized reasoning parts that do most of the high-level processing and decision making. In general , the conscious brain is where the mind seems to emanate from – versus the unconscious brain. The unconscious brain may reaction in less than a 50th of second (the knee jerk reactor) and the conscious brain may take up to a 4th of second to reaction (the thoughtful reactor). Also, the conscious part does not always control nor know what the unconscious brain does or senses until after the fact.
