Everything is madeofElements , and

E=mc^2.

Elements are made in

stars just like oursun.

E=mc^2

All elements heavier than iron (Fe) are made inSupernovas : dying stars , M>10x mass of our sun.

Sodium (Na)&

Chlorine (Cl)make saltNaCl

Molecules are systems of atoms.Systems interact to make thesum greater than the parts ,

called Synergy(R. Buckminster Fuller).

Synergy


6/46

We can not eat themetal sodium &

chlorine is a

poisonous gas ,but

we need to eat salt.

The synergyof the systemproduces

Emergent Properties

Synergy


7/46

The synergisticinteractions between

elements , molecules ,and

energy processing

through the systemgives rise to the

emergent property of

Life.

DNA is inevery

living cell --inheritedfrom our

parentscells.DNAusually is

Chromatin

using four chemical units :A , T ; G , C

DNA carries Information


10/46

The four units(A , T ; G , C)

read three at a timewith some overlap ,make twenty three

Amino Acids ,which are used tomake Proteins...


11/46

Transcription :DNA into RNA ;

info. leaves the

nucleus

Translation :from RNA

makes a proteinin Ribosomes.

Our brain shows

structures thatare also found

in other species.


17/46

Our brain is the most developed


18/46

The brain haslocalized areas

that executespecific functions.The evolutionarily

older part of thebrain handles

basic drives in the

Limbic system.

The Amygdalaprocesses

emotions andemotional

memories --

via theHippocampus.


20/46

The cortex dealswith thinking

everyonethinks that ;)

Also , it deals withemotional thoughtsin the

cyngulate gyrus.


21/46

The cyngulate gyrus occupies a

central area for emotional thoughts.

various parts ofthe brain , basedon the type :

A psychodynamicinterpretation would say that

a neurosis is caused by un-dealt with emotional

memories the desperate

effort to control emotionsoverflows to controlling

external things.


28/46

The Mind is anemergent

property of thecentral nervoussystem , which

includes thevarious areas ofthe brain & all of

your senses.


29/46

Information flowsin the brain via

electro-chemicalimpulses in cells

called Neurons.


30/46

Information flows in between the

connections called Synapses

Via chemicalNeuro-transmitters


31/46

Psychotropicdrugs work via the

brains ownchemistry


32/46

Drugs look & actlike your brains

own neurotransmitters ;thereby bind to the

same receptor site :Endorphin (left) &Morphine (right)

Receptors (bottom)

35/46

Each drug usesthe brains own

chemistry &reward systems ,but in its unique

way.


36/46

Neurotransmitters buildup in the synapse

causing the brain todown-regulate ;

then , there is notenough when there are

no out-side psychotropic

drugs

Chromosomeshave a functional

38/46

For transcriptionto occur , the

chromatin has tobe unwound.Epigenetics

control of DNAexpression :no eyes are

in my elbow


39/46

The functioning of the brain and bodyare influenced by experience.

The neural connections form mostly inchildhood , and DNA expression ,

while normally on , can be turned off.
