So this is why we need our morning caffiene...! - Arthes - 08-18-2006
Your Brain Boots Up Like a Computer
As we yawn and open our eyes in the morning, the brain stem sends little puffs of nitric oxide to another part of the brain, the thalamus, which then directs it elsewhere.
Like a computer booting up its operating system before running more complicated programs, the nitric oxide triggers certain functions that set the stage for more complex brain operations, according to a new study.

Some interesting links on there too....although I think some of us already liken our brains to the internet or vice versa....lol

Nifty- it's funny to think that not-so-long ago, it was believed that nitric oxide couldn't exist in a biological system...
