Your brain is (mostly) a network of neurons. It’s the pattern & weighting of the connections that matters, not the individual cells.

It’s very similar to asking how different parts of a microchip work when it’s all just wires and transistors…it’s all about how they’re hooked up.

A wire can carry HDTV or a telephone signal or AC power or DC power…the wire doesn’t know or care. What matters is what it’s hooked to.
