“A microRNA switch regulates the rise in hypothalamic GnRH…” 5/2/16 The microRNA switch linked fixation of a specific amino acid substitution in microtubules to cognition and to vertebrate behavior via achiral glycine in position 6 of the GnRH decapeptide. See: GnRH replacement rescues cognition in Down syndrome 9/2/22 Co-authors include Ulrich Boehm with senior author … The physics of existence (8)
The first step towards understanding the link from the creation of energy to metabolism-related cellular function is called energy phenotyping. It requires the technology to measure energy-dependent changes in RNA-mediated metabolic switches via the RNA interference (RNAi) screening strategy. Endogenous RNAi must then be linked to the prevention of the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA … Agilent technology and energy-dependent autophagy
Summary: The virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA is clearly linked to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) by altered language, personality, behavior, cognition and motor function. What causes FTD? If the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA causes all pathology, I would expect to find a link from microRNAs to the pathology and to the effective treatment. The social … Until death: Virus-driven failure of multisensory integration (2)
Summary: The time to adopt energy-dependent cell type assembly as the unit of cognition was in 1944, when Schrodinger published “What is Life.” By the time Roger Penrose made his comment in the reprint edition, everyone else was too late. Penrose wrote: “How often do we still hear that quantum effects can have little relevance … Cell type assembly and the space-time continuum
without human pheromones we would not survive long enough to develop genetically predisposed hormonally controlled preferences for the visual appeal of other people
Attempts to discuss the role of nutrient chemicals and pheromones in cognitive neuroscience discussion groups have met with outright hostility. So, let’s wait another week, month, or year until the convergence becomes perfectly clear.
The honeybee model organism suggests that cognition is not required. This raises the question of whether or not we could train honeybees to not exhibit behaviors that we think are altruistic.
