    I still really don't know what you are driving at.  Are you testing some religious concept with which I am unfamiliar?  In what way are you suggesting a man could be separated from the same man?

    we are two parts flesh and bone but there is what you call the mental state if you want,the mind,feelings not the senses the ones from the heart emotion,
    the mind of reasoning, this is were my questions relate to

    understand ?


    OK.  Your mental functions are the movements of electrochemical signals between neurons in your brain.

    Stuart


    stu

    you did not answer my questions

    or do you not want to ?

    you tell me what it is but not what part can be separated from the flesh,

    you see i need help, what is the conscience of men ?

    do animals have a conscience ?

    Pierre


    Those things are all functions of your brain, involving electrochemical signals moving between neurons, so I did answer your question.

    Did you want the mechanisms for how they work, too?

    The brain controls behaviour and it has the properties of memory and awareness.  The brain is made from the recipe contained in DNA, so that is one source of coding of useful survival behaviours, and the brain is plastic so it can learn behaviours by strengthening or eliminating connections between neurons.  

    The plastic brain changes to accommodate what is happening in its immediate environment, so for example, young children with very plastic brains will quickly imitate their parents and others, including their ethical behaviour.  Then, the brain is capable of ethical philosophy so it can think and decide what is right.  We have a strong sense of justice for example, and this leads to all sorts of discussion and lawmaking that wouldn't happen if we didn't.  Of course within subcultures people might develop ethical ideas with which you and I would disagree, such as in criminal gangs.  

    So conscience exists as a function of the physical brain, based on genetics and cultural influence.  This must be so because you know that people can change in their ethical opinions and behaviour if they suffer damage to the brain.

    So, you tell me.  What part can be separated from the flesh?  I don't think there is anything.

    is there no moral to your evolution system ?

    because billions of people will die soon

    What is “[my] evolution system”?

    I have no idea what you are talking about.

    Have we moved on from conscience now?

    why do those people have to die ?

    when we talking about men evolution it have to include is own evolution as a species no?

    Obviously, hormones are chemical signals given out by various glands that can control the behaviour of other cells. It also applies to development. My understanding of this is a bit thin, but there are chemical signals that cause cells to behave differently depending on how far they are from the cell doing the chemical signaling. Hox proteins, made by hox genes do different jobs in the development of tissue depending on where they are.

    It depends what you think is being driven. In the end, the brain is part of the body.

    The answer could be that the pituitary gland is a master hormone signaller, so it is in control. Another could be the parasympathetic nervous system is in control. Sometimes the sympathetic nervous system seems to hijack control from everything else. Most of those originate in the brain. The interesting point is that the brain contains control mechanisms that are sometimes contradictory to one another. That is because it is the result of natural selection.

    Your amygdala, part of your limbic system, contains rough, emotional memories of events from your past that were particularly vivid, and matches those events to what you are seeing / hearing / sensing. Those sensory signals are also going to the neocortex, the part of the brain that contains, essentially, our human ability to reason. The problem arises when an emotional response is stimulated by the amygdala much faster than a considered, reasoned response from the neocortex. For example, people suggest you count to 10 before responding when you are angry. That is to give your neocortex time to respond in a more sophisticated way.

    The instant, emotional response would have been essential for the survival of our distant mammalian ancestors, but it is often an impediment for us as highly social animals. I am sure this hijacking by the amygdala is a significant basis for many murders, the ones where people “see red” then act impulsively, as so often is the case in domestic homicide.
