[Animorphs]Question about brains and morphing.

So I was reading biographies and checking out interviews about the brave heroes that saved our planet from the Yeerk threat and there was something about the mechanics of morphing that I don't quite understand.

First of all, where does the mind go? As far as I can see, your thoughts, identity and concept of self all exist in your brain, and I'm not sure if a cat-brain (or an ant-brain) can replicate what it takes to make a human human. Anyone knows the science behind this?

Secondly, I can't see how after morphing, you intuitively know how to move around and understand all your senses. Research with blind people who are given sight show that it takes a couple of days, at least, to make use of that new sense.  How can people morphed into animals, like bats, know how to fly and use echolocation.

Thanks in advance.

I believe we must conclude that minds (emergent engines of cognition above a certain threshold called "sentience") have some sort of root in zero-space. This root is what commands the physical matter of the brain, whether that brain is human or yeerk or dolphin. 

Morphers, unless they become nothlits, never gain true access to the senses of their morph; their minds depend on the work done by the still-present "mind" and "instincts" generated by the physical brain matter of the morphed animal.
