“We no longer see the evolution of the nervous system, but that of a certain individual. The role of the memory is very important but... not as important as we believe. Most of the important things that we do don't depend on memory. To hear, to see, to touch, to feel happiness and pain; these are functions which are independent of memory; it is an a priori thing. Thus, for me, what memory does is to modify that a priori thing, and this it does in a very profound way.” WayFeelsBelieveDoeImportantPainCertainIndividualMemoriesRolesDependsEvolutionFunctionIndependentImportant ThingsProfoundNervousNervous System Author:Rodolfo Llinas

In the past, and well until today, some South American countries have had a great neuropharmacological history, since the natives' times. It is necessary that we remind ourselves of the many licit and illicit drugs that were generated in our continent and that act on the brain.” HumansWellsCountryReasonTodayPastBrainDrugFunctionFundamentalsSouthRelatedContinentsHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsCerebral Author:Rodolfo Llinas

It is a thing that one could explore well.” MenWellsHelpingSocialDiseaseFunctionPleasantTreatmentNeuroscienceConstructiveCerebral Author:Rodolfo Llinas
