The brain is a complex information-processing organ that cannot see, smell, hear, taste or feel. For these things it relies on meaningful encoded electrophysiological signals that originate in a variety of environmental neuronal sensors and without which input, normal cognitive abilities cannot be sustained. The brain’s metabolic lifeline to the environment is the vascular system, upon which it relies for a continuous supply of nutrients, and for removal of waste products. Thus, the well being of both the brain and the whole organism depend on continuous interactions between it, its environmental sensors, and the vascular system. Superimposed on basic individual neuronal requirements for energy and waste product removal, is a very complex neuronal network that receives, interprets and responds to brain messages of both external and internal origin. At the most integrated level of neural networking is the realm of higher cognitive functions.
