From Slashdot, so you probably already saw it: Nitric Oxide, which
is released by the thalmus, triggers higher-level processing
functions in the brain according to input that the brain is
receiving. So, in a sense, the thalmus is the kernel of the
computer in your head.
From the same website (LiveScience.com) as that article, also comes [Your
Brain Works Like the Internet][]. Luckily, they mean that your
brain works like a network, not that you’re running TCP/IP.
