Why, then are so many of us afflicted with mental disorders like Alzheimer's disease, autism, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, agnosias and sleep problems?

Rachel,

In case you also want to know how our brains make our conscious minds, I have been called the Newton and Einstein of the Mind.
See sites.bu.edu/steveg for why.

The same brain processes that support morality, religion, and empathy can, in some environments, lead to irrationality, prejudice, conspiracy theories, and cult behaviors. Understanding how helps to defend against it. Chapter 17 of my book explains how this works:

During earning and recall of recognition categories, there are reciprocal interactions for which concepts like values and keys are not strong enough to explain what is going on.

An Inverted U occurs during many brain processes. It is part of how our brains regulate their homeostasis.
Permanently? What if you recall them again?

It’s more informative to discuss processing of spatial patterns of cell activation than bits. Bits are useful to discuss stationary channels, as in Information Theory, but not to discuss self-organizing systems like brains. See sites.bu.edu/steveg for many examples of this in our brains.

Biological neural network models have explained and simulated lots of psychological and neurobiological data about them during the past 40+ years. Many downloadable archival articles can be found at sites.bu.edu/steveg .
