In this chapter I learned a lot about the parts of the human mind and what they are responsible for. I found it interesting how all the many different parts coincide to make things work. You never have only one part of your brain doing something, there is always many parts working together. Sometimes these things are working together and you don't even realize that part of your brain is responsible for the actions, like your heart beating and breathing. Because you don't need to think about these things, you don't always realize that it's your brain responsible for the functions.
In another part of the chapter I learned that scientists are able to stimulate a rat's movement with a remote control. I liked the idea that this technology could be used in search and rescue missions at some point, but I'm not sure how. I mean, rats can't really rescue people, so are they going to use the technology on humans? And if they can use it on humans, what else will that lead to?
Lastly, at the beginning of the chapter it talked about falling in love, and that it is psychological, and doesn't take place in the heart. But this fact upsets the history of falling in love. If it is all in a persons' mind, then we should be able to make ourselves love someone, yet we can't. And if by some chance we can control who we love, then that takes away the saying "you can't help who you're in love with". I personally believe that love isn't in the heart, but in the soul. Although people often associate these two together, is the soul possibly part of our mind instead?
