Well, strictly speaking, the brain's impulses are a combination of electrical and chemical. These impulses stimulate certain parts of our brains. To be honest, I'm not sure if even the top neuroscience experts know exactly how this process works.
Here is an article I found, but I have no idea if it's peer reviewed. Furthermore, I have no clue what you're on about. Instead of explaining yourself, you've just repeated the same thing with added insults.

You mean Well, there's no need to be rude! I'm not playing a game, I'm just trying to clarify what you're saying. Of course your thoughts are about things. I'm sure you experienced it while you were constructing your retort. And cognition is a huge part of thought, which lies it the parts of the brain that the child would be born without. I really not sure what you're saying. You're not making much sense. answers my question? Not at all nor did I mention anything about the child nor his missing brain. I asked about our thoughts which you said are about things. You never backed that up with anything except an of course they are which is an answer to nothing.
Here you go.
