But, unlike any other system, the brain end of the CNS is credited with the property of being a conscious mind as well.
Neurophysiology becomes neuro psychology while remaining neurophysiology.
Stimulate some parts of the brain with an electrode and you will experience mental images or emotions, think a thought and the brain thinks with you. Particular forms of mental processes are attached as a subjective addendum to localized neural processes. The brain and mind relationship of popular belief is replaced by the one substance, brain-mind unity of neuroscience belief. We can call this Neural Monism. All of the popular neuroscience books by well known authors such as Boden, the Churchlands, Damasio, Dennett, Edelman, Gazzaniga, Humphrey, Sacks, Scott, and Searle reiterate this brain-mind unity within one substance.
