# Brain-Circuit Models Begin to Explain How Minds Arise by Stephen Grossberg > “During the past decade, theorists of mind and brain have finally been able to model the detailed temporal dynamics of known brain cells and circuits...AND the observable behaviors that they control, using the same model. Thus, for the first time in history, there are theories powerful enough to begin to explicitly show how our minds arise from our brains.” > **— Stephen Grossberg**, *2000 Edge Annual Question, response passage* ## Sources and Context - **Original Edge response:** [How does a brain give rise to a mind? — Stephen Grossberg](https://www.edge.org/response-detail/11679) — a verbatim passage from Stephen Grossberg's 2000 Annual Question response, expressing the author's position at the time.
