Talk:Demystifying Depression/What Is Depression

Requirements for the braincell overload hypthesis to hold true
If this hyothesis is true, then how may one account for occurrences of depression that may immerge do to sensory deprivation? It appears hard to reconcile these events with the belief that neural overload is the only possible cause.--Scottmcmaster 04:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Human Brain as computer information processor
Recently much has been writen to debunk the concept of the human mind as an information system akin to a computer storage sy8456ue5stem. The human brain's constraints are poorly suited to the massive storage and centeral proccessing requirements that traditional information processing systems imploy, Whereas the functioning of an evolutionary based organic brain is far better suited to a selectional system approach, wherein memory is based upon the likelihood of a given mental state repeating itself. Selection between mental occurances is controlled through altering the weight (strength) of specific conections, thus altering the potential of a given mental state to reoccur. Mental States exist within " N Space " which for all purposes is as good as infinite under the constraits of axis whose range is dependant on our ability to differentiate stimuli.--Scottmcmaster 04:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
