In this chemical liquid is carried every detail that permits you to de-
termine that the chunk of ice you are holding is actually ice—such as its
coldness, wetness, slipperiness and the way it melts. The single neural
connection perceives this information and transmits it within this chem-
ical mixture. But how does this liquid know that it needs to transmit this
information to the brain? If there were no conscious control system here,
then the information might perfectly well head not for the brain, but for
the liver or stomach. The dendrite extending to the eye might be too
short or too long, the neural networks could become mixed up with one
another, or the messages to be transmitted could be overlooked. But ex-
cept in cases of illness, none of these errors ever arises. Thanks to this
complex mechanism—which has not yet been fully understood even
with today’s technology—information is transmitted, completely and at
exactly the right time, at a speed of 380 kilometers (236 miles) an hour.

The Brain: The
Headquarters That
Runs on Electricity

No matter in what form
the information may be—da-
ta regarding taste, touch,
smell, sound or sight—to
transmit it, the body always
encodes it as electrical sig-
nals. When these signals
reach their target, any nerve
or muscle fiber, they give rise
to a chemical change, which

in turn causes the formation
Complex activities take place inside the
brain, silently and without causing us any of a sensation, or a movement
disturbance. What if the brain made noise or facial expression through
when it worked, like a car engine, or if its
muscle contraction. The way
every function caused us discomfort like an
overworked muscle pain and distress? Yet
by the mercy of God, this never happens.
