Neuroscience and computer science?

Assalamualaikum and hye...
I had a good chat with Abah last night, its really interesting that he relate brain to CPU (not literally but i think thats what he mean). So, a chat between a medical student and IT person is not just like a duck and a cat trying to converse in "quacks" and "mews".

Abah : saja je tanya,... subjek mana yang muni rasa susah sikit?
Me : hehehe...stakat ni yang agak susah ialah neuroscience
sebab dia macam "abstrak" sikit
tapi kalau baca betul2 boleh jer

(Allah help me, I think I just messed up my neuroanatomy spotter)

Abah : ni pasal-pasal urat-urat lah, sinap-sinap tu.
Me : aah
pasal otak jugak
nampak macam sebijik jer tapi sungguh complicated

(Complicated by Avil Lavigne was playin in my head)

Abah : signal-signal, blink-blink

(bling-bling??)

Me : yup2...
neuron ni relay dekat mana, pergi mana, control apa
muni ade blaja pasal parkinson, control of movement
Abah : tu lah.... kalau kita boleh bayangkan macam komputer, dari mana ... pas
tu signak gi cepat... lalu gateway, directed to periperal yang ditentukan
oleh mictroprosesor (otak) pas tu bila sampai... maklumat tu diinterpret
.... pas tu respons balik untuk diproses. dan beri feedback.. cam tu kan.
Macam konsep fly by wire lah.
Me : hahaha
boleh tahan jugak dia punya perbandingan tu

(sebenarnya tak faham pun fly by wire tu apa....)

Abah : macam parkinson tu agaknya macam circuit yang dah ada block, (kena
air agaknya) jadi software yang control tak boleh execute sepenuhnya....
sebab ada defective protein menghasikan neurogenerative disorder... ada
midbrain dopamine neuron loss... ye ke?
Me : aah, kurang dopamine dan sbb ade masalah dengan basal ganglia
x taula sbb masuk air ke kenape, hehe
ni x boleh main nyelam2 lama2 ni
hehehe
Abah : dopamine kan nero transmitter... jadi bila air masuk, transmission
terganggu... masa tak transmit pun dia transmit signal pulak, tu la yang
body periperal dok gerak-gerak je agaknya.
Me : mana berkaitan dgn air! hehe
abah, muni dah ngantukla

(Sebenarnya tak pandai nak terangkan pasal parkinson ni, so, terus saja buat alasan untuk tukar topik. Rasa bersalah sahaja. I think it wud be really interesting if i can explain what i learn properly. Maybe Abah can tell me more about the parables and stuff.Its because i havent been studying properly... huhu)

I love chatting with Abah. He's a lot cuter online! And funnier. But I like it mostly because everytime we chat, without fail, he will say things that open my mind, say things that motivates me, say things that matters. He made me feel more matured but still spoil me like Im his little girl. And best of all, I can read the same sentences all over again. (and you can save the conversations).

Assalamualaikum and Hye....

I can say one of my early English teachers is Sesame Street. Now Im grown up and look...what has happened to Earnie and Bert? Is Sesame Street becoming a dark and nasty ?



I hope you can still get moral from the story...
