AB THE  REMARKABLE  RANGE  OF  HUMAN  behavior  depends  on  a  sophisticated  array  of  sensory  receptors  connected  to  the  brain,  a  highly  flexible  neural  organ  that  selects  from  among  the  stream  of  sensory  signals  those  events  in  the  environment  and  in  the  internal  milieu  of  the  body  that  are  important  for  the  individual.  The  brain  actively  organizes  sensory  information  for  perception,  action,  decision-making,  aesthetic  appreciation,  and  future  reference—that  is  to  say,  memory.  It  also  ignores  and  discards  information  judiciously,  one  hopes,  and  reports  to  other  brains  about  some  of  these  operations  and  their  psychological  manifestations.  All  this  is  accomplished  by  interconnected  nerve  cells.
