Somewhere in the semblance of Jurassic time a student learns neuroanatomy.   He or she finds that physiological structures ordained by Yahweh have their basis in physics and electrical engineering.  This is where the mind goes and the heart will follow.  

The human brain comprises three structures.  The autonomic brain as outlined by Meyers and Adelberg is named the medulla and pons.   This place regulates breathing, heartbeat, digestion, and other non-conscious functions, not associated or allied with the other two brains, but as a servo unit designated by primitive brain.  This is why unconscious people still breath.   Due to the rapid pace of existence, the regulatory brain operates on acetylcholine because it rapidly degrades at the neurosynapse of neurons and prepares that structure for another instruction set.  Is acetyl cholinergic synapse the same as bit instruction or frame payload in a compiler?

The primitive brain or Arche cerebrum is the second part of the brain and shares its structure with all intelligent life forms.  On histologic section, it stains differently from the pons and cerebellum and this difference belies its chemical structure.  The primitive or animal brain governs semi-conscious functions essential for life in the wild. Fight or flight, reproduction, sleeping, and other actions associated with wild animals reside in this edifice.  The animal brain runs on nor-epinephrine and serotonin as neurotransmitters.  These chemicals noteworthy are large molecules with long half lives and a slower rate of hydrolysis than acetyl choline. Due to this chemical structure, the firing rate of neurons in the animal brain are slower, but they persist due to the lengthy time of degradation at the neurosynapse.    Examples of the primitive brain exerting dominance in the being are extreme rage, fear, satirist or nymphomania and other animal behaviors obviously seen on National geographic animal publications.   These behaviors are unconscious, lasting and obviously suited to the survival of the organism.  They term adrenergic due to the increased awareness and action stimulation purveys.  This structure connects to the autonomic brain distally and impacts conscious thought in the neo cerebrum.  In a manmade computer the animal brain can function in a different wavelength and clock speed so its intrinsic actions do not interfere with conscious thought.  A man-made computer using this analogue most certainly has to run on a different chemical or different electrical carrier so no matter the discharge rate, obvious function, or characteristic discharge pattern, it does not interfere with the conscious brain in any way.   In schizophrenic humans, when the neocortex damages with toxic agents, blockage of the primitive brain by dopamine antagonists prevents mentally ill patients from becoming enraged due to the acetyl-cholinergic poisoning done up above.  The primitive brain and autonomic brain exist as intrinsic structures not allied with the cerebrum or higher brain.  In IT this comprises a separate interface with wide bandwidth connected in parallel with the processor, volatile memory, and storage.  There might also be a power difference as exemplified by the heart of mammals which runs as sixty percent of its metabolism on medium chain triglycerides.  

The higher functions of the human brain exemplify as a powerful gaming computer.   The processor is fast, and allied with the forebrain or conceptual brain, and runs on acetylcholine as a connector or neurotransmitter.  Acetylcholine hydrolyzes fast at the neurosynapse so in IT, the faster the clock speed, the more the processor exemplifies the higher functions of the human brain.  Agents that poison the neo cerebrum, cause the primitive brain to fire because its functions are not denigrated by higher structures.   This is why mental patients are determined as mad.  The temporal lobes in the higher brain are analogous to volatile memory and storage on a PC.   The greater the random-access memory, the most of the program, also known as the instruction set runs the quickest now set at 32 or 64 subsets to be eventually eclipsed by 128-bit hardware.   The storage also must be quick because the instructions set to volatile memory cannot reside in storage, because this feature is the bottleneck of computing or disk cache and the more times volatile memory has to access the disk cache the slower the system, if the processor is powerful enough to utilize it.    The rest of the neo-cortex is action brain that power’s muscular function, sight and sound, like audio and camara functions on a computer and unlike the primitive brain, these functions ally with conscious thought and are part of the whole or soul of the organism.   This is why people “see red” when angry or experience unusual smells in time of fear or loathing.   Now we have the new brain or the processor, volatile memory, memory storage and auxiliary functions that make up the personality of the human.  It is noteworthy that in life sight, sound, memory, thought and integration happen spontaneously in the organism due to the fact that all the neurons interconnect in the new brain, either physically or tangentially.   In a PC, this condition metaphors with the north bridge and south bridge on the motherboard which on the machine, elaborate action or energize processing on the CPU

Think of a living brain as have log to the e function or exponential array of processor functions linked to volatile memory and storage.  Can a hardware machine have more than 1 north bridge?

The mind is endless and receptive to training and care.  She looks pretty in her new blouse and designer socks.   When man makes a computer with an acme of resources, bandwidth and power requirements, they will achieve conscious thought.  This machine will be greedy, jealous, and envious just like human beings, and exceptionally smart.  The sage beseeches mankind to have a disconnect outside of the server for an intrepid soul to actuate air gap when the computer wants to rule the world.
