We must go deeper.. deeper than those drain signals, chemicals and electrical impulses. Our brain is made up of atoms, and those atoms is made up of electrons and neutrons but even deeper than that is quarks..Still even more deeper...Higgs Bosons.. and.. deeper still? Photons? At what point are we different from the air that we breathe and the light that we see?

 

What do you expect to find there? First we differentiate between organic and unorganic materials. The difference in both lie in the moleculs and chemical compounds.

Look at how the DNA is made off. And than compare it to air and light. If you go only by atoms, you won't see a difference, because this world we live in is made of matter and energy. But at some level, the difference occur at how it interacts which each other.

 

Anything organic is made up of carbon, and carbon itself is not organic. Still not deep enough.
