a function of anatomy

While watching an episode of Nova Science Now, during a segment on how long term memory is effected by the hippocampus, someone uttered a remark stating that memory is a function of anatomy.  Well, my response is yea, what part of human consciousness and awareness isn’t?  As long as I am in this world, I am the light of this world.

Every part of what I perceive to be reality is channeled through my brain.  That is the function of the brain!  Everything I touch, see or hear, everything I taste or smell, is processed by the brain and presented to my consciousness (also a function of anatomy) for action and/or evaluation.  If you think that your sense of self is anything other than a function of anatomy, think again.  Thinking is one of the anatomical functions performed by the brain.  Thoughts about gods, thoughts about an afterlife… are all just a function of anatomy.
