If it were possible to describe [the nervous system] as a circuit diagram, [with each
neuron] represented by a single pinhead, such a circuit diagram would require an
area of several kilometers. . . . [It would be] several hundred times more complex
than the entire global telephone network. 7
As he emphasizes, the nervous system in our bodies functions like
a very complex data network, which depends on all the neurons per-
forming their duties to perfection. With the rhythmic, coordinated mo-
tion of the impulses from one neuron to the next, each organ, muscle,
joint, system and cell performs its functions without any conscious com-
mand or supervision from you. Moreover, although millions of cells die
in your body every day, these are expelled from your body in a way that
causes no disruption to its balances and functions. Again by means of an
impeccable system, new cells replace the ones that have died. In this,
there is not the slightest error in terms of timing or measurement. We
have no control over these activities, and continue to enjoy healthy lives
so long as none of them suffer any disruption.
