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.‎ *Written to provide a comprehensive coverage of the electro‎-chemical events that occur at the neuron and how they interact to generate thought *Provides physiology‎-based chapters ‎(‎functional anatomy‎,‎ neuron physiology‎,‎ memory‎)‎ and the molecular mechanisms that may shape thought *Contains a thorough description of the process by which neurons convert external stimuli to primary thoughts
