Neurons are like honey comb and not like elephant herds when it comes to evolution :

Hi Friends,
Last time, I wrote about an article which briefly introduces to stress, which we face in day to day life.

This post is about Brain homeostasis. Well, What is Brain homeostasis?
Actually let me explain it with an analogy. If a system say computers for example does multiple functions and constantly can upgrade itself and evolve from the problems say virus, hackers, spyware etc without being instructed to or few CSc people breaking their heads to solve computers problem, what will happen???
We can call those computers to be "smart ones", but unfortunately it loses the originality and ends up as highly evolved system and becomes mad... I mean the system here when it gets evolved gets debased.
That's why, system needs a back up like a restore point . Such is our brain. Our brain evolves from each and every situation it faces and neurons constantly upgrade themselves. This is Brain homeostasis. This can be either functionally as in high cognitive aspects or in general energy balance. Balancing the functions of every corner of brain is a challenging task like neuronal firing done for nutrients distribution, process tally, voluntary tasks and involuntary tasks, memory, cognition, perception done by ... ahhhh..

 Neurons work together when it comes to balancing things and they individually can't balance themselves is what this study (link below) tells us.
Neurons are like honey comb.  Honey bees work together and if you by chance kill the queen bee.. the whole system gets collapsed even though the individual worker bees are still alive. Why not like elephant herds? In elephant herds, they work collectively but if one goes astray the whole elephant herd still goes on doing the same job the individual elephant has to take care of itself and adopt to the situation.  Researchers say, individual neurons cannot adopt when left astray to restore homeostasis..

This energy balance/ homeostasis is very important to handle stress. If group of neurons can only do it then it is important to understand that stress is a serious threat. Billions cells die and gets replenished but a group of cells which loses how to balance and does not regenerate to restore balance, don't you think you are inviting serious trouble which is the straight gateway for Alzheimer's and other big problem.. So Friends, identify this micro problem and try to find approachable solution...
Healthy life is important than famous or ambitious life. This should be our motto friends.. cheers!!!

Hello friends,
hang on.. why is this link hanging above me????
Ouch!! its heavy....
I cant bear its stress...

image source: google images 

Oh yeah I am stressing today about stress...
I am not talking about the material stress as in stress, young's modulus etc etc, though we can learn a lot from them as well...
We all know whats stress is.... Hang on!! no???
Well Let me see,
Stress is a generic term used when we feel your actions, activities, physical factors, mental factors impact us as a pressure either physically, mentally or socially..

You see friends once my father use to say all medical problems has engineering solutions and all engineering problems have medical solution..
for an engineer, Just like how a leaf veination can be called biological plumbing system could be an inspiration to drainage system maintenance, your skeletal system is the real inspiration for physical load balance activities.
Similarly we(neuroscience researchers) can learn from material physics or automobile industry that when an engine is overheated it is under stress or when a metal bar is loaded more than its capacity it is under stress.. the solution is simple you use coolant and give the needed fuel to the automobile and you reduce the metal bars burden by distributing the weight...
This is simple and can be used medically as well...
At work place you can delegate your work duties, distribute your work duties, start working like an ant team or be honest about how much you can work...
Your coolant will be your daily water intake and your fuel will be healthy diet...

Some can argue that stress could be due to transgenerational epigenetics, well it is true but this neuroscientist news link which is hanging heavily above us clearly states that there could be a pathway followed in stress and targeting it will clearly reduce it...
May be we can control our prefrontal cortex which is involved in planning and executing a work which thereby reduces the Amygdala's response to stress... If by practice we can train our prefrontal cortex, this method is non conventional approach for stress relief mechanism which can be achieved without doctor's prescription and improve work efficiency.

Try to improve prefrontal cortical activity by training it right from the beginning of any work, even in childhood try not pampering the kids and allow them to learn the art of planning, executing and positive time management....


so friends,
When you are pressed from behind, try to raise up your forehead and don't hunch down :)
Cheers....

Astrology isn't everything but it is science of social neuroscience

Hi all,
     

      Astrology identifies you with trajectories and extrapolation of light you see when you are born. You are the seed, where you are born is the soil and the season is around you. Just like how a plant is grown you grow in this world. Astrology uses advanced mathematics and physics to identify you and how you might have a basic character a sketch just like in tissue engineers and scientist call a scaffold. Remember a sketch is drawn to just get an idea and improvise. If you still feel your sketch is not ideal you can erase and redraw.

       Right from my Sussex life in my master's degree I started to think about this. I use to ask my friends, acquaintance, relations, family and people around me their date of birth, not just to wish them one their day but to see how compatible I am and in what way they fit into my circle. I realised this world follows western world of date, time, calender, latitude, longitude, work place, how you think, how you speak, how you see and hear in simple the modern man (highly a social animal), only when it comes to family life, relationship, traditional values and mother tongue and on your origin and what you are is seen . 

      Say for example I come from chennai which is in India, my ways of social life is copied from western world of modernisation and culture to survive, my social circle is formed from the words I speak, the way I behave, the way I see and perceive. it is a combination of my personal character and social nature.  I realised when it comes to social circle my sun sign works better in understanding why he or she is my friend (self analysis) and my moon sign works better my traditional and other intuitive hobbies, the most beautiful thing is my lagna (Moon horoscope) works perfect with my career and combination of lagna and moon sign shapes up you as a person. 

Conclusion:

         I think if you analyse yourself and call it a cognitive chart and on the basis of you character and nature you draw a network diagram of you and around you, you can understand better your life the flaws and strengths in it as a person. May be just like me it may even end up in people with compatible for that nature sun sign around you . This chart is specifically good in seeing how happy, where you went wrong, how to make yourself happy, things you love/hate and keeping it as a personal just like a diary or medical report. 

Be happy and spread happiness around you.  

How can a brain stay solid?

Hi all,
Yesterday I was watching an episode named CSI.  There I remember seeing a scene wherein there is an accident happening which was actually a murder and there is a brain been fallen off which does not belong to the person who has died in accident. I am just wondering if a human brain actually stay solid without fixing. If yes how is that it is solid?Even if this happens in low temperature climatic places.. though here in this serial it is in Arizona state in Las Vegas, which is hot place I think also it does not have any muscle like structure in it and there is no bone other than the cranium which surrounds it. There is another episode which says a person killed by inserting a sharp pen . Even if the person is damn old still the cranium is not so easy to allow sharp insertion into the brain to have it damaged... I don't know how much of these episodes is practical.  

the attractive black hole and universe a fully evolution human like form

Today let me call "|my blog day". This is my second consecutive post I am posting from the radiant brain of light with unknown source or from source of dust illuminated to become a thought paves way and comes out as a star or a post here :)
http://www.ted.com/talks/janna_levin_the_sound_the_universe_makes.html.

This talk made me feel universe is a human . Well not with a skin of epithelial cells bundling the bone and muscles and etc etc. Imagine a human made of light a brain of light bundled with a dark space here can be called a drum since a drum is made of skin and hides elongated , fitted and beaten with a stick or hand to produce sound.   What is this black hole? Well Human eye:) What ? Yes when I happen to see this talk and see my ted profile picture. I concluded this that the human named universe has a compound eyes with simple eye resolution and characteristic. I still remember Prof Mike Land, University of Sussex, who took the eyes and its resolution in my course saying if you wanna build a compound eye with a simple eye resolution you need a size of the sun may be :) So this universe has different types of cell named stars and sees using black holes but how does it think?

Though I have posted my comment in the talk let me post the same questions here.
My point is what the speaker is actually looking at is the big bang sound to be recorded which happend in the past. What the big bang sound may actually do in the near future? is there any other big sounds predicted apart from the big bang done in this milky way or the black holes drumming the space ? How about the central draw the universe possess . Is there any sucking the air using a straw noise recorded from the universe? the craters the space possesses is the black holes and the path it takes through the white light of stars. Is there a pour of stars somewhere born from dust recorded what we can co relate to as something like a waterfall. is there any movement prediction of these stars walking along the drum or space? what I call it "the locomotion of the universe". Why is universe behaving like a human employed to some firm or organisation working and what is its pay or return for its working?

:)  In all the hindu philosophies this universe is called Brahman or brahmi or indra or Shiva or Visvarupa or Brahmam:) so may be if yu read this first and tune your brain into this I think the topic science from the Thaitriya upanishad can be understood better:)

the flowery tale

http://www.ted.com/talks/jonathan_drori_the_beautiful_tricks_of_flowers.html

Well the flower story begins here.

One of the most fascinating video I have ever come across is this video in TED.com.

the intelligence system used by the flowers is quite stunning. This video actually made me think that the animal brain is far more inferior than the plant system. I still wonder where the plants have the brain to think and do these things. But ah ah the insect or any animal brain is superior in movement and is kinetic while the plant has the potential to do its job static . This is what I call the real boss in the world. It sits in one place and commands the whole world to work for it and pays us salary which is called the food.

1. The static illusions and dormant observers get their job(pollination) helps us to learn and apply in the advance intelligence system.
2. How is that the plant creates or develops its flower based on insect sensory system? And Vice versa.
3. What made the total flaw system of insect pollination pushed into absolute method of pollination of plants. (may be China learnt this system quite well and that's why there is static potential of rise in economy seen by mere numbers like what a flower does releasing millions of its pollen and deceiving the insect to lay eggs in it while the in just a under employment of drinking nectar?On the other hand India struggling to unite and drive its people towards rise in economy though it is equally potent but is innocent and does not actually know how to deceive just like a plant does?  ) This thought makes me smile from economy point of view its a shame .
4. I see the human brain s most attractive flowers such as rose, lily, jasmine are more sensual and emotional attached to the most evolved brain function such as cognition and perception and visual patterns done by your brain may be correlates the flowers appearance? I mean you like rose because your visual brain makes similar patterns in case of pleasant emotions and when you give your emotion a color ends up into rose and when you give your mood a smell it ends up into jasmine?
5. I see a far more potent plant sensory system than animal yet to be discovered and has anyone shed their light as how a plant actually makes these flowers so purposefully and knowledgeably. I am sure something in them does literature survey though it takes time which we call it evolution but is successful.

Science in thaitriya upanishad or thaitriya upanishad is one among the fundamental science

transformation of thought to blog

Hi all,
After a very long time, I feel Its time for me to post a new perspective of self.

according to thaitriya upanishad, Brahman or the eternal bliss (in simple term) defines everything. That is you are made of your body and soul.. before arguing into what is body and soul, lets get into wat body and soul is made of from this upanishad. It says"you are made of  food, prana, thought and bliss which is in sanskrit annamaya, pranamaya, manonmaya, Vigyanamaya and ananthamaya kosas". food is all the living degradable substance the chemistry and biology, prana the organo- inorganic chemistry which is filled in the confined space of earth to be used by every degradable biological system, we can even call it the food(anna) is the food of prana and prana is locked in anna and is consumed by the anna, you are the food and you are created in food, you consume food and ultimately you are consumed by the food, a highly worldly substance yet it is fundamental.                  

Next, prana, the first involuntary function of your body divided into prana, apana, vyana, udhana and samana, krukara, devadatta and dhananjaya which is the inorganic chemistry of the basic biology(food) the vital energies or reactions such as respiration, digestion, excretion, secretion, circulation etc while dhananjaya is the ultimate energy needed by the body to realize its soul to the Brahman or eternal bliss which is seen during transformation time (exit from the world).  

Manomaya kosa is highly simple yet complex. Here is where the actual top to down concept of neuroscience begins to shed its light. this manomaya means the thought process attached to drive involuntarily activities such as prana(as a whole) and anna (food) which is the basic matter or the workers. Here we see how the food {physical matter in the brain and the inorganic chemistry or the involuntary activities going on in the brain actually co ordinates itself tuning into environmental and other external factors registers or drives using thought (can be called memory, learning, neuronal firing etc)} to carry the system for its survival in this world.  According to Bhagavad gita mind is the chariot driven by senses as horses and goes on with respect to the horses though you still have the rope to control it yet you are new to drive it and it comes through diligent practice to control it and drive it.

Vigyanamaya kosa means the knowledge of properties and understanding the cascade of process. The science behind everything happening inside us and outside. For example consider food, here in this planar dimension, the properties of food and its interaction leading to cascade or web of events or process makes it unique and considered more satisfying in realizing the purpose of our existence. But is it ultimate?

 Anandamaya kosa is eternal bliss . What is that ? It is where the act of free will, comes into action. Then ? It is where the sporadic nature of the system itself is seen. Then? It is where spontaneity plays a role. Then? It is where knowledge about researching your system paves way to understand you. What?  Yes knowledge about you is act of inert understanding , tracking down the activities going on inside you. You can think about whats going on around you and the sensual things around you but you fail to track the day to day activities you do. You try to know it again externally using methods such as science to explore the world of you observed by others, like you only know eyes and its function from books and methods to understand eyes is using animal or what not something other than you . you don't diagnose anything, the trained physician puts his efforts and mind to observe you.  This is the first step in knowledge but we stand in this basic. Unless or until our system shows any symptom we are least bothered about what it does except thirst, hunger etc and bothered more about the senses and sensual reactions such as anger, praise, comparison etc. We never think like now where are we seeing? Why is that we are seeing. What is actually meant by seeing? When we see what is happening? We fail to attach the thought process of every action done by us. If we attach we see how complex we are and we try to understand ourselves not just philosophically but practically too. This approach is done only for rare occasions by us psychological affect we have due to stress or anything. Then we think why the hell are we focusing on that and try to recover or analyse but fail to analyse each and everything we do. Now the act of typing is the act of spontaneity, the act of free will driven by the anandamaya kosa of me(physical) using the knowledge of typing in the Vigyanamaya kosa/planar region acting through the manomaya kosa- the thought, which initiates the involuntary prana to dedicate and supply energy to my anna or food which is my physical brain. This thought though prevalent regardless of space, time and confinement that is me is now being initiated by the unconfined, time independent, space independent knowledge or Brahman (being called). The knowledge takes a form called thought strikes me (the physical form) is now transformed into words and letter and sentences and confined meaning here in this blog. But yes again this thought about me, what I do or think and what is self is one but can be understood in infinite forms. That is why the knowledge is one but its hands to understand(can be called guaniyn) is infinity. "One in many and many in one" you are the source and you alone is evolutionary, blessed to express yourself about the knowledge or self(can be called brahman here) tuned by your thoughts like a radio tuning the frequency it chooses. 

These things going on in my mind expressed here is initiated by the act of trying excavate what death is or transformation is . As I mentioned before, to follow something is basic and researching on it is the next step, I tried to follow the path of harmonious way to die combining the mind and body, concentrating on the factors usually seen in transformation or death here. I figured that two things in me (consciously) is functioning in confining me into the space called me. they are the breath and the next is the current or energy between your eyebrows activating the upper lid of your eyes to function rapidly and not letting you to concentrate on your temple . My prana of  live energy is  attached to my anna or my eyebrow point call it the pineal gland (may be) narrows my path of thought or manomaya, to think below that energy and functions normally that is external conscious and normal day to day activity done unconsciously, fails to see the space around the thought (above this energy force physically above the pineal gland) or you which is infinite consciousness of self or brahman. 

People, you may call it philosophy preached, but I see this post as the actual "Philosophy of Doctorate/PhD of basic science".
