What is not frequently mentioned in discussion of free will is the fact that the brain neurons, just like most other cells in the human body and constantly dividing and reproducing themselves. Yet our personalities, our consciousness and our sense of free will grows from childhood and through adulthood in a cohesive and constant fashion and our sense of 'self' remains constant and unchanging. Our personalities are never discontinuous or altered despite the underlying turnover of neurons. We are using a biologic computer that constantly gives us the same resulting consciousness unless altered by drugs or injury. This means to me we have free will. As this article shows we Develop all of this from birth.-"Through asymmetric division, neural stem cells, which are the brain's growth points, grow into two different daughter cells: a new neural stem cell and a nerve cell. Because of the very large number of differentiating neural stem cells, the brain can play an important role as an organ (the neuron network structure) - namely, the continuous creation of an individual's personality by means of the constant differentiation of neural stem cells into nerve cells, in combination with information gleaned from the outside environment and accumulated memories. Once these nerve cells have finished their duties, the glial cells are left as memories. In the meantime, the next group of neural stem cells begins to differentiate; thus the neuron network is constantly updated and the brain keeps developing"-http://hplusmagazine.com/2015/01/21/mind-arise-brain/-Does Rom have a comment?
