Hippocampus and RAM

[lunarious]

I made my previous post as some of the discussion in this thread seemed to misunderstand the nature of the brain, with an excessive comparison to computer parts and terminology, such as "hard-drives" and "rebooting" for example.

Also what does these in bold mean?

Personally, I found what @blitzkrieg wrote informative and interesting. I'm not trying to rain on your comical parade @lunarious , but facts are good too.

What does this in Bold mean?

What does these words marked in Bold mean?

Also why is his name blitskrieg, which means sudden war? ... I sent him PM but he didn't reply.

@Neri

I have no idea, but maybe modular is like you can't just remove a part of the brain and test/discuss it separately like you would with a computer. Modular laptops are laptops which have removable parts.

I have no idea, many people on the spectrum particularly guys have special interests in wars and historical events and war words. Part of fitting in with men like women on the spectrum like flowers, butterflies, birds and pink which is assumed to be a strong masking, even taken to the extreme? Then again it's not like we are moderate in personality and activities.

Constituent parts means components. I have trouble if it's not specific as well to understand.

Also what does these in bold mean?

The nature of something is its description or definition, its properties, its way of being. The nature of the brain.

Excessive comparison means if it gets compared too closely or accurately to something different.

It's considered improper to PM people you have had conflicts with as well as women you don't know.

I PM him/her because we have conflict. Right?

The expression is to "rain on your parade" and it means to ruin your work. When it rains when a parade is happening it is considered that the parade event was destroyed.

You can search words on Google and type "meaning" after them to find out what they mean. Although sometimes I find the definitions in the dictionaries confusing.

Right but it's unlikely there will be desire.

This is a good article on the topic of why the brain is not a computer:

Your Brain is Not a Computer

Just one of the many quotable quotes of the article in question:

"To understand even the basics of how the brain maintains the human intellect, we might need to know not just the current state of all 86 billion neurons and their 100 trillion interconnections, not just the varying strengths with which they are connected, and not just the states of more than 1,000 proteins that exist at each connection point, but how the moment-to-moment activity of the brain contributes to the integrity of the system. Add to this the uniqueness of each brain, brought about in part because of the uniqueness of each person’s life history."

The human brain is nothing like a computer. Computers have software, processors, encoders, decoders, are instructed on what to do via programming and so on.

Human brains have an entirely different make up. They have axons, axon terminals, dendrites, neurons, action potentials, chemical neurotransmitters, nerves, parts of the brain that connect to each other via white matter (and grey matter as part of each part), such as in the amygdala, occipital lobe and so on...

The bottom line is that computers are understandable to technology folk such as engineers, whilst the human brain is not comprehendable to neuroscientists who still know very little about the brain or how it works exactly.

Edit: @blitzkrieg

Yesterday I started learning about the word allistic which is antonym to autist.

These two words say we are all "normal", 2 types normal, unless we are diagnosed as pathological or sick by experts and why not. So Politics is not in control of God and War. If I wanted to wage War what ... I fear only God, primarily

So what does autists do unlike the neurotypicals? They act and think physically. i.e. computers. e.g. upon being asked "how are you".

There's a basic hacking trick (in computer world), if i can't hack your e-mail password f.ex. I overload you until you crashes, and mayhe get meltdown or submission

I got dizzy in lack of better word reading this. But i know there are people whom think the Human mind does not work like a computer.

I've seen only suffering from such people. Cruel and uncalled for suffering. And I will not forgive them. I will walk towards the future, and they will not be allowed to follow me.

I think the truth of the matter is that there are parallels and non-parallels between both humans and computers, and considering how little we actually know about the human brain (ultimately) compared to how much we know about computers (that humans have obviously created), the conversation remains infinitely interesting and relevant.

Even when you're learning about architecture, authors, teachers, professors and the like will often draw on parallels related to a very simplified understanding of the human mind. Sure, it's never 100% accurate, but sometimes it helps to see the commonalities between the two since it's our minds who engineered them to begin with.

They're not even remotely exact replicas of us, but that doesn't mean similarities don't exist

Just to be clear @lunarious - my posts were not a personal attack on you, I was simply putting forward my views on the comparison of computers versus the human brain.
