Last night I watched the PBS program "Nova." It was about the amazing and complex human brain and how it works.
It was said that all of this miraculous brain activity is going on in darkness, inside the skull. I realized, of course, it must be dark in there. But I had never before thought about it being dark.
The way I had visualized it before, the lights were on.
I picture it dark, but with a lightning storm of synapses. I think that's how the textbooks have explained it, but not how it really looks. But who knows? I don't think they operate on brains in the dark, so how are they sure? :)
