In order to deal with the subtly changing composition of the air we breathe, as well as dealing with the changing nature of the air carried by the blood to our cells, we have a flexible system to deal with gas exchange in our lungs and in our veins, arteries, kidney and other organs. Paula's… Continue reading What is wrong with Paula?
Do you know of anyone doing clinical research into cognitive impairment from bipolar illness ? Because they are doing it wrong.
And they don't realize it. Do you know of anyone doing clinical research into cognitive impairment from bipolar illness or from migraine or from iron deficiency or from thiamine deficiency or any other brain illnesses potentially caused by secondary problems far away from the brain? These are hard problems for which we have no good… Continue reading Do you know of anyone doing clinical research into cognitive impairment from bipolar illness ? Because they are doing it wrong.
Mind and A.N.S. Control of Breathing
Paula has invisible "control of breathing" issues. Control of breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system. Control of breathing and invisible problems with control of breathing is something that we have only begun to investigate.....because some people with control of breathing problems are unaware that they have this problem and are unaware of the… Continue reading Mind and A.N.S. Control of Breathing
Mind must be a product of the autonomic nervous system
I am not referring to what we choose to think or what we choose to do. I am talking about the processes which support the existence of Mind ; the chemical processes which are responsible for thought, memory and arousal. These chemical processes depend on energy, on electrical signalling, on appropriate intracranial pressure, on appropriate… Continue reading Mind must be a product of the autonomic nervous system
If the nervous system could use words:
it would tell us that its neurons plus the cells and tissues of all the systems of our body [the head and brain is included as part of our body] work together in order to create the proper conditions for our chemical reactions to take place. I imagine that the nervous system would tell us… Continue reading If the nervous system could use words:
The Nervous System
is responsible for consciousness. Consciousness [arousal and cognition] is a result of teamwork. Teamwork involving the whole body, linked and commanded by nervous tissue of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. .... still working on this idea] A major function of the nervous system is to control the relative constancy of the… Continue reading The Nervous System
The hypothalamus and the regulation of bodily systems
The measurement of the vital signs of blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate [and minute ventilation] and body temperature is an important way to begin evaluating the function of the hypothalamus. And abnormal patterns of these vital signs may be due to abnormal functioning of the hypothalamus OR may be due to injuries impeding the… Continue reading The hypothalamus and the regulation of bodily systems
The autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system
My complete understanding NOW is that abnormal minute ventilation is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system….and involves the autonomic nervous system [sympathetic and parasympathetic] and the somatic [motor] parts and this disorder WILL affect the central nervous system [the brain and the spine. This is the reason for the disturbance of cognition and memory… Continue reading The autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system
The Autonomic Nervous Systems Runs the Body and the Brain
This system is very complex. The autonomic nervous system controls internal body processes such as the following: Blood pressureHeart and breathing ratesBody temperatureDigestionMetabolism (thus affecting body weight)The balance of water and electrolytes (such as sodium and calcium)The production of body fluids (saliva, sweat, and tears)UrinationDefecationSexual response https://www.merckmanuals.com/en-ca/home/brain,-spinal-cord,-and-nerve-disorders/autonomic-nervous-system-disorders/overview-of-the-autonomic-nervous-system All of these internal body processes are important… Continue reading The Autonomic Nervous Systems Runs the Body and the Brain
Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Dysregulation in Bipolar Disorder
If the sympathetic nervous system [which is part of the autonomic nervous system ] is unable to function properly because parts of it are broken or injured, then this would more than explain the neuroendocrine and autonomic dysregulation in Bipolar Disorder. The vital signs are part of the autonomic nervous system [made up of neurons… Continue reading Neuroendocrine and Autonomic Dysregulation in Bipolar Disorder
