We realized that everything in the body moves due to electric stimuly and we followed it to the brain, everything the body does, everything it recieves and gives has to go through the brain so we did more experiments on animals to see what would happen if we like, messed around with the brain and found out that if we change the brain we change the fundamental way the body functions, and then we realized that every time we think and react to stimuly a part of the brain "turns on". The mind is not "in the brain" per se more like the mind and the brain are more of less the same thing.
