Don't be silly, of course it does. If we forget about ghosts, souls,
phantoms, spirits and the lot the brain is the seat of the mind and
as you may know (or may not know?) it is the mind that is the playground for psychology. The physical structure of
the brain, in terms of neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters etc.
not only has a direct bearing on the psyche it
forms the very foundation of the psyche!
What am doing here? I feel as if I'm defending a very obvious point
that I fear that you probably didn't mean this but in a sarcastic way.
Anyway, I took the effort to type it already and don't feel like
erasing it now.
