Abstract
This article addresses the links and interactions between the neuroscience parallel line of theories and the paral- lel line of mental activity and thinking. An argument is made that the most fundamental biological entity, the human ge- nome, provides a pathway of mind-body functional coordination via a double helix metaphor. Brief selections of neuro- science and psychological theories associated with the characteristics of higher thinking are presented. Advantages of trac- ing the double-helix/genome pathway to mind -body issues are discussed. A modification is proposed to reflect the unique development of speech and language in human beings. Their effects on thinking and communication warrant a unique avenue of investigation.
