Abstract
THE brain is usually considered to be a structure.One does not intuitively recognize that structure depends on biochemical processes and that the development of structure and its maintenance are biochemical. Significant alterations occur when, and only when, biochemical processes are altered. The slowly changing, geometrically stable portions of the total biochemical system provide the optical and mechanical properties to which the term structure is attached. Function is the term applied to the changeable, highly unstable portions of the biochemical system. Viewed from a molecular level, structure and function differ only in the spacing of atoms, the arrangement of charges . . .Keywords
