Perhaps, the
most mysterious phenomenon in the universe, so far discovered, is the function
of human brain. It performs some extraordinary functions that made us the best
of the creation. But most of the basic mechanisms of its function are still
undiscovered. This is so as experiment with intact living brain is difficult.
But we can explain how the brain works by applying our known brain composition
and its function at cellular, molecular and ionic level. It is a highly organized
biological network that conducts nerve impulses. Probably, it has no other
basic function. But how transmission of nerve impulses, allow us to do all of
our brain, mind and soul (if exists) activities like learning, memory storage
and recall, imagination, decision-making, feelings and perception? How a living
substantial body acquires and exhibits some abstract properties which disappear
on death, is really amazing. No other substance in the universe has such
properties.
Substances have
acquired abstract properties through cellular evolution and some noble abstract
characteristics appeared in human through the evolution of abstract components
in the abstract world (represented by living creatures) along with the organism
evolution in the physical world. Evolution in the abstract world continues in
human brain with extraordinary functions. The basic prerequisite for an
evolution towards excellence is to conserve the acquisition of the past
achievements which is efficiently performed by human brain that not only stores
past events and experiences but also recalls, analyzes, manipulates and
delivers a response as required after sensing the state of the surrounding
environment. Therefore, memory conservation in human brain is the most
significant achievement in the course of the evolution of the universe. Now,
let’s see how the biological memory evolved through the evolution.
