“…The emergence of cognition due to nervous systems maximising energy distribution through connectivity patterns is probably a feature not only of humans but also of most animals. Although there have not been observations directly related to this proposal in experiments in other animals as those reported above in the case of human recordings during various conscious states, but considering the continuum in the development of cognition, we propose that this key feature is present in most living organisms [74,75] The intricate web of neuronal assemblies giving rise to a myriad of energy gradients may result from the recently proposed "neuroglial closure" in brain cell circuits [76]; when this closure, this wide interconnectedness, disappears transiently, for instance during epileptic seizures, the consequence is loss of conscious awareness. And generally speaking this is maximisation of energy distribution is a natural tendency, just like gas molecules tend to occupy the maximal volume available, energy will redistribute in the widest manner for no particular reason but because that is the most probable outcome.…”
