Of course
There is nothing special about an organic brain that cannot be replicated by a sufficiently advanced synthetic one.
Emotions, Desires, Thoughts, Fears are all a result of internal and external 'programming', either in the form of your biology (genetics/hormonal levels) or your learning.
If you make a program that can learn new things, you are already on par with most organic life. If you make a program that can rationalise a decision, you've surpassed all non-sentient life. If you make a robot that can do all that and have laser eyes, we have no need for meatbags anymore.
You're just waiting for someone to create your new brother
I already have four, I'd rather have a robotic son
How do neurons communicate? Some sources say through neurotransmitters being sent and picked up between neurons, but then there's the electric-impulses-stuff. Can you clear this up for me?
Yeah, we've been doing this in a lot of detail recently.
So take a dopaminergic neuron for example
You have the presynaptic nerve and the post synaptic nerve, the bit between the two nerve endings is the synaptic gap. When an action potential reaches the presynaptic nerve, this triggers the release of neurotransmitters like Dopamine into the synaptic gap. The dopamine then binds to the receptors on the post-synaptic nerve and if sufficient dopamine are bound to it then this generates a new action potential in the second neuron.
The action potential is the electrical bit and the dopamine in the neurotransmitter. The electrical charge for the action potential comes from the transfer of energy from ionized molecules (iirc) like Sodium Na+ or Potassium K+ which is why deficiency of those two is particularly bad for a person's neurological health.
Hope that makes sense.
So, our post-synaptic neurons have a default setting, like Oxytocin, and the "action potential" stimulates this setting? The neurotransmitter is the binding factor that determines the capability of that neuron. The action potential then is an action or smell. Once we do something or hear something for the first time action potential occurs and a neurotransmitter is selected by one cell to bind with another cell (among a cluster of other cells). When we perform the action, or hear the same sound again the eletrical impulses are sent through those neurons again, and the neurotransmitter's effect happens without the need of any configurations since the setting is already set. Serotonin won't be able to pass through this cell unless the simulation of it forces a new setting to be added.
^that's my understanding of what you said and then some
Er not quite but not wrong
Post-synaptic neurons have receptors on them, that neurotransmitters bind to. A bit like enzymes and their target molecule, lock and key model. The action potential is the electrical impulse, this is generated in response to something i.e sensory stimuli or by neurotransmission. The AP then moves along the neuron to trigger the release of neurotransmitters at the presynaptic nerve.
As for the origin of an action potential, I can't quite remember where it comes from it other than the electrical charge comes from ions and a chemical reaction.
Yeah, I actually found out about the hole you just filled in before posting, but I wasn't bothered to figure out a way to fill it in, so I just left it. My theory didn't make 100% sense, but the updated version kinda does
Thanks for explaining.
No problem, I've been doing neuropsychology for the last few months straight so it's kinda fresh to mind.

t4r
I've finally picked it up after about a year of waiting and I'm wondering if any of you chaps have already played it?
If so, what are some good pointers for starting out?
No worries if nobody has played it though, it's not exactly AAA errbody play it material.

chaos sucks when you're the dwarves they're definitely a lot stronger to kill than other factions even if you outnumber them 2:1 but by the time they get to your region they're beaten down and quite easy to kill
this is on hard too

Krokodil should be free for everyone to use tbh
if someone understands the results of it to the fullest extent and willingly chooses to consume it anyway, then yes.
Except the kind of people who would actually inject road-flares and iodine aren't going to be intelligent enough to know what it will do to them. So I would say absolutely anyone should be free to use it, that way we rid this planet of degenerates nice and quickly.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36358737No hambeasts allowed. Australian feminist group Cherchez La Femme has expressed its fury after Facebook rejected an advert it created because of the image it used.
The picture featured plus-sized model Tess Holliday wearing a bikini.
The social network said the advert, for the event designed to promote body positivity, "depicts a body... in an undesirable manner".
Facebook added that while the event page would not be taken down, the advert would not be approved.
So while the picture is still visible on the page itself, the event is not being promoted elsewhere on the platform.
"Ads like these are not allowed since they make viewers feel bad about themselves," read the response from Facebook's Ads Team.
It also suggested that an alternative image of someone "running or riding a bike" would be more appropriate.
Facebook told the BBC it was investigating the matter.
Its terms and conditions state that images used in advertising may not "show excessive amounts of skin or cleavage".
Jessamy Gleeson, one of the producers of the Melbourne-based "Feminism and Fat" event, told the BBC she was furious.
"They're not policing women's bodies when it comes to acceptable standards of beauty elsewhere," she said.
"I can see that they were attempting to try to tackle eating disorders - that makes sense - but at some point you have to consider that women of different weights exist on Facebook."
The group had contacted Tess Holliday's management for permission to use the image but had not received a reply, she said. tl;dr some femmies tried to post a whale in a bikini and got told to fuck off 10/10 lads
