Brain has a von Neumann architecture
Three features of Von Neumann architecture also characterise processing in brains: 1) processing is sequential; 2) symbol strings are stored and accessed at specific memory addresses; 3) there's a central processing unit that controls processing.

Note: For more on the assumption of a central control see "Searle assumes a central locus of control" Map 4, Box 75.
