What does "as continuous  in the cell's "resting" state mean?

What are the functions of areas of the temporal cortex in such and in
other tasks?

And does anyone if the temporal cortex plays a role in hallucinating
naturally, on LSD or in intentionally projected images as within
magic?

If not, where are the "false data cards fur such stored and drawn"?

Do you actually bother to type that at the end, grin ...

And what does that have to do with conscious thoughts?

Personally I never had the idea to wonder how many neurons my areas
had in relation to the rest, and as the numbers are not always the
same nor are the same in different brains, I do not even get why
someone would bother to wonder about that.

Nor why someone would just be so fixed on neurons.

Simple, where are YOU and what areas are around you and how much do
you know about other areas in the brain and relations?
Just answer that for yourself and you might know.
