This is perhaps the most interesting, and difficult, question in Answers.com!
Neuroscientists think that the mind is a result of the operations of the brain, but they are not sure which operations, or even which part of the brain. We don't even know whether only humans have minds, or only mammals. My guess is all mammals have minds because they have a special brain region called the neocortex. This is largest in humans, and maybe humans have "more" mind than other mammals. It's possible, but uncertain, that one day computers will have minds.

The relationship between mind and matter is a complex philosophical topic. Dualism posits that mind and matter are two separate substances, while monism holds that they are ultimately the same substance. Some theories, like idealism, suggest that the mind is primary and creates the illusion of the material world. Ultimately, the nature of this relationship is still debated and remains a key question in philosophy.

Descartes arrives at his distinction between mind and matter through his method of doubt, where he questions the certainty of all his beliefs.
