But even if we have learned to understand what the brain is from an anatomical and structural point of view and to understand, at least in broad terms, how it works, not everything is clear yet. Not only have we not yet been able to understand how the various cells of the brain interact intimately with each other to give rise to a thought or a concrete action, but we have not yet filled terms like intelligence, consciousness, empathy and feeling with meaning. And above all… we still do not know how the mind “emerges” from our brain!
