Answer 1

Think of it like this: a computer is, essentially, one continuous electrical connection with trillions of branches. Eventually, they all lead back to the dame place. The brain, however, is trillions of individual loops at the tiniest of scales, that just happen to pass chemicals back and forth between each other (not electricity). It’s not 100% accurate, but it’s a good visualization. The brain is, in effect, an internet for the body, not an individual computer.
