Neuroscience.

Quick Recap: The CNS (the dorsal cavity, the cranial cavity, and the spinal cavity) controls the actions of all multicellular animals (except sponges, etc.). The majority of the nervous system is contained within the CNS, including the brain, the spinal cord, and the retina.  I brought this up because there are responsive behaviors and planned behaviors and the entire CNS is necessary for physical/mental coordination. *Note that there is also the peripheral nervous system.

 Okay, I know this sounds silly, but before this year..I never realized why we have the ability to make decisions while other organisms are lacking in some aspects. I’m not completely sure if I want scientists to (somehow) prove that human thought is caused by a series of chemical/electrical synapses (I kind of like the idea that it’s just unsolved and unknown), but it is still interesting. Anyways… The idea here is that our brain has more surface area than that of an animal and that extra surface area leaves more room for more diverse functions.

        I just never thought of my daily actions as chemical synaptic transmissions.
