Elena Tyeryoshina's lecture on the metabolic interface between the "brain and body" has taken place!
Thank you to everyone who was with us! We will post the video and photos as soon as they are ready.
Dr. Elena Tyeryoshina:
...The brain is ready for active activity after 60 years. And by this time, the body has fulfilled its reproductive function and is slowly dying. This is the biggest paradox of the human body...
...We do not know many functions of the brain. Whether it ages or not, whether it interacts with other systems in non-physical ways, and so on. Therefore, it is still difficult to say what will happen to consciousness without a body...
...The brain takes up to 60% of the glucose from the body, which could be used for the body's reproductive function...
...The body does not supply the brain with any products that it produces itself. Therefore, its need for the brain is small...
...The body only works for the brain: it looks for the foods that contain the compounds it needs, in particular amino acids, vitamins...
...The brain itself produces everything necessary for its work - neurotransmitters, hormones..., even if the same compounds are synthesized by the body, for example, catecholamines, phospholipids, cholesterol... The brain is quite autonomous...
...The brain accounts for 2% of the body's weight and consumes 20% of the oxygen...
...The idea of creating an artificial body can be realized if the problem of gas transport is solved....
...The brain without a body will not be able to cope with the gas supply system. Can artificial sources of oxygen be created? This problem has been being addressed for a long time. Drugs, so-called "blue blood", have been created, which have a high oxygen capacity, but do not interact with any systems of the body...
...The most choline is found in egg yolk. Don't be afraid of cholesterol. Be afraid of statins, which can lead to early dementia. Statins are drugs that are recommended for the treatment of atherosclerosis and lowering cholesterol...
...Choline is vitamin B4, which is necessary for the effective functioning and maturation of the brain. As well as vitamins B9, B6, B12... But the same substances also enter the blood when the nervous tissue degrades (with aging)...
...Gerontologists have determined that lifespan is related to insulin...
...It has long been believed that the brain regulates blood glucose levels. But recently it turned out that this is the function of the body...
...In Russia, the only institute of gerontology was closed this year. At the same time, the aging population is a problem for all countries of the world. The Ministry of Health is focused on preserving the body and not using the potential of the brain. I would like to hope that this is just a mistake...
...The idea of creating an autonomous life support system for the brain, which will allow it to live longer than the body and function successfully, does not seem so fantastic...
И пока в кармане пачка милкиуэйев - значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день
