The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms

cognition can be seen as a multiscale web of dynamic information processing distributed across a vast array of complex cellular (e.g., neuronal, immune, and others) and network systems, operating across the entire body, and not just in the brain.
The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms
cognition is the result of information processing distributed across all cellular systems in the body, including the brain, which is, in our view, (part of) the body. Speaking about brain-body-environment interactions in constituting cognition may be misleading because it tacitly inherits the distinction between mind (brain) and body. Cognitive pro... See more
The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms
Neuroscience now recognizes that the brain and the body are so intimately intertwined that they cannot be thought of separately.
Embodiment
The entire body processes energy as information in a brain-like manner and information-processing cells are present in all parts of the body.
Anne Berube • The Burnout Antidote
Neuroscientists now think of the brain as an ever-changing ecosystem crackling with electrochemical energy from which our thoughts, emotions, and intentions arise, rather than a collection of blinking neural islands.

minds are an emergent property of systems that are configured to process and integrate information.
