I'm thinking it would just look like a tiny little electric line squiggling around. very light and shiny. I had a psychology teacher a year ago who said they're just electricity from the other parts of the brain come meet up at the front. So a thought by itself would probably look like a little piece of lightening. Weird right, to think that that's all you are?

So like, HP, correct?

it would be so small, you wouldn't be able to see it.

Damn I love your avatar. Ok, and I dont. I'm not sure.

I am also atoms, not just electricity, I have you know.

It doesn't work like that. The impulses are constantly being fired in the neurones and the information isn't stored in the neurones anyway so removing them would do nothing. Also the impulses aren't sparks, the action potential is like -70mV. And is more about ions moving in and out of the membrane at the nodes of ranvier causing the local electric currents to pass by saltatory conduction. Your psychology teacher isn't a biology teacher for a reason.

I don't think a thought would be a physical object...

She didn't say it would look like that but she did say the part about them being electricity from the other parts of the brain meeting in the frontal cortex as another electric thing. She's not my teacher anymore anyway. But lets say it's a frozen thought.

It would look like a root or something

thatd be cool

that'd be interesting

Do you mean the frontal lobe? not cortex. But even still the electricity doesn't zap around like she wants you to think, and the direction in which the impulse travels and where it ends up depends on the thought process and whether it's long or short term memory that's being put down.

How do you propose memories from the side get up front hmm

I don't propose anything, but the very simplistic way your teacher described it is exactly that, a very vague analogy.

No I mean the cortex. She never said it was random or made that impression if that's what you're getting at, obviously not random.

what do you mean you don't propose anything you're just trying to say I'm wrong no matter what but you never seem to understand what I'm saying

You asked me how I propose memories travel from the various locations of the brain (which you referred to as the 'side') into the what you mean frontal lobe. Why would I propose anything? I've got no clue as to the specific pathway, that university level stuff. No, can't you get off your high horse and understand this isn't about you. This is about the science, which you seem to have a hard time grasping like with everything else.

well you can't say it's wrong if you don't know how it works, you have to say "No it works like _____." ... no comment.

No, I can easily say that's wrong without being sure of the actual answer. If someone asked me what's 14 times 341 and I said 2 they don't need to know the actual answer to tell me that my answer was wrong. I've explained to you a lot of this in detail, I honestly don't get what you have trouble with.
