How our brains work?

I have gained insight into how our personality and consciousness are formed and influenced by experiences. The brain, while composed of soft matter, consists of a complex matrix of synapses, akin to switches that can be activated or deactivated. There are billions and trillions of these connections, and similar to heating a bucket of steel bearings by warming just one, the activation of one switch influences others in close proximity. When new stimuli are introduced into this network, they cause changes accordingly. Each stimulus impacts more than one connection; thus, every time we see, hear, or smell something, an electric charge—albeit minuscule—is introduced into this neural structure, which alters the associated pathways. These pathways retain the activation until something else intervenes to deactivate them. This process occurs with trillions of neural connections responding to an immense array of experiences and sensory inputs each day, shaping the intricate composition of our lived experiences.

It’s an organic electrical chemical soup that has the ability to be changed electrically and chemically from the electricity and chemicals that our body creates a signal pathways to our nervous system or through our hormonal system, respectively. It is like this, how trauma can be imprinted in our brain, sometimes they stimulus is so impactful that it will affect a lot of switches or maybe more impactful switches That have a longer memory just to say they’re more difficult to switch off once you switch them on maybe it takes more of a charge electrically speaking to turn that one off that a typical switch whereas some switches like a piece of road that looks like every other piece of road Will be sensed, but not necessarily imprinted very deeply, which is why you can remember things that are very impactful another Monday and things are easily forgotten. Different people‘s brains have different abilities to hold onto to memories like this or more resistance to the switch switching but it to say this certain switches take more charge or more chemical to change them back with the switch. Everyone has a different tolerance for this. Some people switches are very sticky or not. This is genetic. This is what’s actually passed down through your jeans and as evolution have it we’ve been trained over time to hold onto switches that are very impactful. Maybe we saw our mother get ripped apart by a lion 10,000 years ago And we never want that to happen again so our brain increase a very deep impact in our brain, so when we go on and have children that charge that switch is passed on to our offspring, passing down these messages of self preservation tour offspring over millions of generations that is what evolutionist overtime we adapt to avoid the things that killed our ancestors.
