And where you have you been for the last month? The neurology that

some of us
persist in considering a non-material entity -- can "arise from"
that neural
tissue.)
Cheerskep, please take a bit more care and caution with the notions
you cause to arise in my brain. When you use the spelling,
"neurology," I think of the branch of medicine that deals with the
anatomy, functions, and diseases of the brain. William and others used
the spelling, "neuroscience," which made me think of the branches of
science, such as neurochemistry and experimental psychology, that
study the structure of function of the nervous system and brain. And
the subject studied by neuroscience isn't the "tissue material"
itself, as in histology, but the way in which the brain and nervous
system works to produce its products, among them, thoughts and other
ideations.
Luc made a good point with his remark about neuroaesthetics.
