NON-SYNAPTIC COMMUNICATION IN BRAINS: HOW UNCONSCIOUS INTEGRATION IS 
MANIFESTED IN ANTICIPATORY BEHAVIOR

    The synaptic model of neurocommunication in the brain has dominated 
connectionism for more than half a century. Generally, little 
consideration is given to other modes of neurotransmission in animal and 
human brains, even though there is indirect evidence that less than half 
of the communication between cells is by synapses. Non-synaptic 
diffusion neurotransmission may be the primary information transmission 
mechanism in certain normal and abnormal functions. Non-synaptic 
diffusion is vastly more economical than synaptic transmission in 
regards to space and energy expenditure in the brain.
    The task of integrating a collection of databases (i.e., 
neuroinformatics) becomes inconceivable, when faced with the challenge 
of how unconscious integration leads to anticipatory behavior, if 
meaning of data rather than the individual data is represented 
non-locally in the brain.
