Are we our brains?
Are beliefs, memories, and feelings represented in the brain?

Today's the 5th of 7 sets of videos from A Beginner's Guide to Neural Mechanisms:

I replied "But, you just choose to buy those (similarly priced) meat burgers instead of those vegy burgers!. Should I blame your logic & reasonning system?"
