Are the brain and mind connected?

does one affect the otherAre the brain and mind connected?
Think how you feel when you're faced with an important exam for example - perhaps a driving test or an interview? Sweaty palms, nausea, perhaps diarrhoea, shaking, etc. All of those symptoms - physical but coming from a mind origin.
If you discover you have a nasty physical illness, you might become depressed - but that's not body ruling mind. The mind has the power to heal the body. So the answer is . mind rules body. However, people are a totality & you can't divide them up as conventional medicine does with psychiatrists, gynaecologists, gastro-enterologists, etc as this way, the totality is lost & the person becomes a part & not a whole.
obviously not lol
This is kind of a strange question... The brain and the mind are usually synonymous. If the brain is damaged, the way you think and behave may change. The brain is what controls you. It's actions cause thoughts (ie the neurons firing).
Yes they are. The mind is a manifestation of electrical and chemical activity within the neurons of the brain. If the physical brain is destroyed so is the mind. As a thinking entity you would no longer be. Scary eh!
