How a Mind is Made

We know a lot about brain chemistry and anatomy; certainly more than ever before. New medications can often make the intrusive illnesses of depression and anxiety more manageable. Brain imaging and brain function research have pushed us into a new millinia of understanding. There is cause for celebration regarding these new advances.

There is still much to do. In fact, we have only just begun to understand this complicated organ, the brain. Some day researchers will smile when they think of the simplistic methods and theories of earlier centuries.

With all the research and understanding that abounds today there is one major part of the puzzle that remains a mystery. How does the ocean of neurons packed together under the bone of skull create a thought? We know how to make up our mind, but we do not know how is a mind is made?
