ABSTRACT

Modern biology cannot answer the question of what is the life without describing the mechanism of mind. Successes in computer science lead to opinion that it is possible to create “thinking” machine. So biologists decided that it is possible to understand brain functioning being guided by knowledge about modern computer functioning. But the idea that information processing is realized on intracellular level and the neuron is working as a molecular computer (MC) [1] is more attractive. According to this hypothesis the brain is a network of MCs. The brain as a network of 10 exp 12 molecular computers becomes more powerful and quick to solve complex problems in real time than as a net of neurons capable of summing electric signals only.
