Translation Draft

At this point (of the total of my posts related to New Medicine over more than a year) it can be said that I have presented most of the "things" necessary for the related understanding of everything I will present from now on. So let's really get to work!

The first thing we need to focus on is the functioning (not the structure, at least in detail) of the brain (generically called the "mind") and the human nervous system.

Both "landmarks" are structured from neurons, class of cells specific to the nervous system (central and peripheral). And, "our endowment" has between 16 and 40 billion neurons (but it seems that "Einsteins" have "towards" 100 billion, by increasing the weight of gray cells at the expense of white cells - popularly "have more gray matter"). The neuron is a cell adapted to the reception and transmission of information, the elemental (cellular), embryological, anatomical, functional, trophic and metabolic unit of the nervous system.

Functionally, the neuron consists of: 1. the receiving region consisting of the cellular body (soma) together with the dendrites ("area" where information is received and processed, where contact with other neurons is established through synapses - usually does not form potentials for action but only local potentials called postsynaptic potentials), 2. the leading region consisting of the axon, up to its arborisation (area of transmission of potential action - information - by summarizing local potentials) and 3. the effector region represented by neuronal arborisation (where the potential for action is recoded in chemical form and "transmitted" through neurotransmitters through the synapse of the receiving region of the next neuron).

For those less willing to know, the neuron is like our hand, where the palm represents the body of the neuron, the fingers represent the dendrites and the arm represents the axon (which can be imagined as a kind of electric cable where the insulation is "secured" by the myelin tea - strangely organized from pieces of myelin matter that transmit the potential - information - from node to node to where it should). Fingers take information from other fingers, transmit it to the palms, and along the arms the information continues its course. It's as simple as that, I can't describe these...

I won't go into any further details because that's not the case. The basic idea is that essentially neurons are simple sensory cells (receptors), motor (effectors), association (intercalars) and secretors. So they have defined functions that, through the selectivity and selective permeability of their some, perform all the necessary information processing, to an individual to which is added a "learning" collaboration (another form of selective response) which is manifested by the formation of selective dendritic bonds.

Something like human relations: I know you, who know Jones, who knows Jones' and who together we can do I don't know what. We are receivers if we "serve" a kind of "wireless phone" system (Ion touches with Maria), we are effective if we help neighbor Ion to manifest (or neighbor), we are of association if we intersperse in a tree of relationships and we are secretors if we produce something. So if we want to do a job, we turn to our relationships. If we do not have relations, for example, to point the board to the machine (broken or cracked bone), or we give up the idea or give birth (if we are allowed to do so) a new relationship with a tinker "Nea Osteo-John" which thus becomes a point of connection with all our chains of relationships and his and thus "straighten the femur of man". I don't think it's hard to understand...

But, what must be understood necessarily, is that the transmission of the nervous impulse (information) is not done like the electric current, like a flow of electrons through a transmitting structure from an increased potential to a low potential (or vice versa). Through neural structures the nervous impulse moves in one direction (there is a signal in the other direction but it is related to "dendritic plasticity" and has no function of effective transmission) through changes of potential membrane produced by the action of neurotransmitters in synapses (and, these synapses are, in fact, a space in which neurotransmitters act, neurons never being in direct contact, at least physiologically) or by shifting the potential change from "couple" to "couple" (Ranvier nodes) of myelin plates along the axon (which is why nonmyelinated axons more quickly direct depolarization/signal).

Let me tell you about the potential changes (of the membrane balance of K+ and Na+) in which Ca2+ intervenes, all depending on the voltage resulting from depolarization, PPSE or PPSI, about pre and postsynaptic inhibitions, about propagation laws such as "all or nothing law", hmmm, the new medicine is not as complicated as the old medicine...

What matters in the case of new medicine (and even if current medicine is complicated with explanations of "take you out" they do not apply them "in practice" unless they are pharmacists or neurologists - but also here, hmmm, the considerations are "overall" not so particular) are the chains of relationships, their degree and, of course, their specialization.

About the relationship chains you could figure out what I mean from the above.

The degree of relations is a "reference" to a kind of certainty, of the approval of those chains. The cell, as described in life posts (posted a year ago), develops selective permeability over time. Thus, at the membrane level it has positioned some "gates" that identify something specific, necessary for its proper functioning (in the case of the neuron appears, in addition to the direct comparison with a normal cell, and the fact that the potentials manifest themselves at the level of the membrane which thus has a kind of supplement of "selective permeability").

If that something is necessary several times, and it exists in the environment, to ensure the "necessary" abundance (of the necessary flow) the cell positions on the membrane several entrance gates (or output) for that something (of course we must not forget the limited space of the membrane that can be filled by certain "gates" at the expense of others or, worse, many "gates" can be addictive for that something that must "enter" (or "get out") , once there are so many gates - but, about it later). In the case of neurons, what i described earlier also applies to the way of "birth" and "takeover" of potentials.

So, if I turn to "Osteo-John" more than once, every time the problem arises we will only turn to "Osteo-John", without checking if there are other alternatives, because over time we have developed a high degree of connection (possibly a real addiction, especially if it is solved by this "call" the problems that attracted that request) with Osteo-John (and its chains of relationships). If our needs grow, in addition to Osteo-John we also accept the help of Osteo-Smith, Osteo-Barnes, etc., "birthing" new chains of relationships.

The important thing is that the femur is repaired as soon as possible and as well as possible.

And now it's the turn of the major. In the example "banal and stupid" with the femur, two situations can occur: one related to an "emergency" situation, following an accident or an assault, and one related to a "normal" situation, of normal growth or maintenance of the femur. The human body has a clear delimitation of all structures (especially nerve) that are grouped in the vegetative (autonomous) nervous system comprising sympathetic (emergency) and parasympathetic (normal) structures - but let's not forget the "higher decision" elements (grouped at different levels) that are delineated, to some extent, especially on the basis of the "right of feedback" and conscious reaction (or not) called the nervous system , "non-autonomous and voluntary" (and ready).

In the case of the autonomic (vegetative) nervous system, therefore, we have a sympathetic structuring (a sympathetic nervous system) which, even if classical doctors say that it has to do only with the vegetative nervous system, they agree with us who say to this structuring that it deals with anything related to the reaction "fight or flee" (sympatho-adrenal response), "emergency". It acts autonomously, without conscious control, and prepares the body for actions in dangerous situations or with "immediate" and "explosive" "content".

I won't go into too much detail but I will "emphasize" its most basic reactions: increased heart rate (intensification of heart contraction force results from the action on the ventricular myocardium), increased blood pressure (which leads to better blood infusion where necessary), dilation of blood vessels that irrigate the heart (coronation) and cerebral vessels, skin and mucous membranes , constriction of the blood vessels of the abdominal viscera, dilation of the pupils, piloerection (hair lift), dilation of the bronchi (by relaxing the smooth bronchial muscle) to facilitate breathing, increased blood sugar, concentration of plasma fatty acids (thus providing an increased amount of "rapidly consumable" energy), decrease in general intestinal peristalsis, large intestine motility and contraction of sphincters, increased sweating, reduction of secretion of salivary glands, etc.

Its reactions are "based" on the release into the blood of acetylcholine which activates the secretion of adrenaline (epinephrine) and norepinephrine (norepinephrine). Its reactions are called sympatotone. The total removal of the paravertebral sympathetic chain allows survival, but only in environmental conditions as constant as possible. Due to its effects it is considered to be a catabolic system.

Parasympathetic structuring (a parasympathetic nervous system) that (blah, blah) deals only with the vegetative nervous system and deals with anything related to development, rest and "involuntary" digestion (being, if you have not forgotten, an autonomous system). Compared to the sympathetic system, it has reverse function, but supplemented with the elements of development, when appropriate, its actions being more discreet and diffuse compared to the sympathetic ones. Its main actions are the preservation of energy, the constriction of the pupil (myosis) and stimulation of the contraction of the ciliary muscle to relax the suspensive ligaments of the lens to accommodate the vision "nearby", slowing the heart rate, bronchoconstriction, increased intestinal activity and relaxation of the sphincters, increased gland activity, relaxation of the muscles in the intestinal tract. Its mediators are represented by acetylcholine.

Its reactions are called vagotones. Due to its effects is considered an anabolic system (but only so it is not, because it keeps a balance of development needs, repair, support, etc.).

So, if we were to draw some kind of conclusion, based on what has been presented so far, we are already dealing with two "systems": 1. a voluntary, conscious nervous system that keeps coordinated or "felt" reactions directly from us to whose functionality "intervene" with a kind of feedback reactions (response) more or less conscious (which have to do , mainly with the nervous system) and 2. an involuntary, unconscious nervous system that relates to coordinated but "unfelt" reactions directly from us, whose functionality we can intervene infrequently, indirectly (often only with additional training), which directly relates to the functionality of the body in direct relation to the manifestations of the other nervous system (including conscious reactions) and which is the basis of emotional reactions (and has to do with sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems).

To all this can be added some elements such as the His-Purkinje system which represents a kind of internal and quite autonomous "brain" of the heart, the fact that, in fact, each cell has its own "brain" represented by the cell membrane (don't be surprised, just read the arguments presented previously in the contents of this blog - desire) and their specific agglomeration in the various organs of the body can lead to the conclusion that "reaction-thinking entities" are formed , to the influence of water that accumulates in the molecular structures that form their own information that attracts their own reactions of areas containing different water structures... Hmmm... Things get more complicated than you'd imagine.

In a kind of conclusion, the whole "gang" of cells in the body is guilty of how we think, how we react to thoughts and, not least, everything is subject to "interaction with both the environment and the internal"... But about all this later.

And now all I was going to do was present things in general. Details will come little by little during future posts.

In the end of this post, to have a little more fun, here are some "paintings" of the studios: 1. people more sensitive, more stimulating, more energetic, more "open-minded" will perform more synapses (up to 300% more) than real jerks, lazy and phlegmatic; 2. Proper feeding until the full development of the brain crucially affects the number of neurons, a well-fed child having more brain than a poorly fed one (so, it's not true the "fluffy and stupid" thing), 3. every day a man loses about 100 thousand neurons, so about 3 billion in his life, an old man ending up at the end of life with 35% fewer synapses (this is the most common spell, I can't help it - the elders, in their imagination, are certainly dumber than themselves in young women, losing with the accumulation of life experience neurons and synapses - what good is the "gave in the minds of children" ?!?); 4. women have on average 16% fewer neurons than men, which attracts 30% fewer synapses (I may be a man but I have not noticed this so far even in "babies")... And I can go on like this: smoking and alcohol fool us and we die faster, our sex life unbalanced (too much intercourse, masturbation, etc.) "jumped off the landline" our connections (well, and of course, if you stay too long in a place you don't know too much), blah, blah, blah... What good jokes as long as everything is evolution, in "up" or "down"...

Good days, full of Love, Gratitude and Understanding!!!
