Well.....! Quite a question. The (partial) answer may be found in
standard Neuroscience textbooks (such as the one by Kandell and
Schwartz. Two more popular type accounts worth looking at are "Neuronal
Man" by J-P Changeux and "The Understanding of the Brain" by J.C. Eccles
(getting a bit old, but well worth a read).
It is refreshing to find a "computer person" who suspects that us
"brain people" might be on to something!
