How does the brain store our personalities?
In: 52
The assumption you seem to have made here is that our personality is just some file that the brain stores and retrieves as it is needed.
Instead, it’s much more likely that our personalities are an emergent property of the entire brain. Our personalities are not static. They’re not even the same from one moment in the day to the next. Instead, they’re based on how our brain is wired, our personal experiences and the context of what is happening. Our personalities adapt to all of these. It’s actually a disorder if your personality is rigid like it’s just some sort of file that gets retrieved and has one setting for everything. That’s a personality disorder.
