In fact, strictly, it is not a theory yet, but it is an entirely novel idea that 'visualizes' the Universe in the form of vibrating strings bounded by membranes (branes). String theory proposes multiple dimensions so that a 'braneworld' having 3 dimensions will not be able to see what's happening in a braneworld having 10 or 4 dimensions, regardless of how close they are.<br /><br />Physiology or biology is also governed by physical and statistical (see Schrodinger: What is life) rules. Very little is known of physiology specially at the microscopic level, such as ion channels, pumps, metabolomics & ATP, protein folding, saltatory conduction in nerve axons, biochemical reactions etc. As science evolves, we may expect to unfold its elusive nature little by little (probably not in great jumps as 'life' is immensely complex). String theory, by virtue of its exotic nature, may unravel some mysteries of the cell, and life as a whole. It is a bit premature to speculate on when, how or which part or process of the cell it will throw light upon. We must wait and watch.AmiyaMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377884408239081072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-17155335274800852772010-10-15T04:16:26.632+05:302010-10-15T04:16:26.632+05:30Hi, I am a student in college and I am intrigued o...Hi, I am a student in college and I am intrigued on your opinion on how string theory connects to physiology?

You are absolutely right in pointing it out that higher the frequency, higher the energy each photon contains. But we should also bear it in mind that 'high energy' does not always translate into greater tissue destruction. Tissue damage also depends upon whether the radiation is ionizing or not, as you pointed it out, or whether & how much energy is absorbed.<br /><br /> For example, cosmic ray has higher frequency than X or gamma rays but they 'pass through' the body and hence are not damaging. UV rays, on the other hand, have much lower frequency, but they damage the DNA.<br /><br /> Regarding cell phones freq, Wikipedia says: "Mobile phones use<br /> electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range..." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_radiation_and_health)<br /> and if you check out this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Electromagnetic-Spectrum.png), you can see that<br /> microwaves are assigned higher frequencies than radio waves.<br /><br /> Anyway, mobile phones have unequivocally shown that they can wipe of the plaques of Alzheimer's disease and can lessen, EVEN reverse the symptoms of AD, that too without the risk of cancer. This 'wiping' is rather similar to the erasing of cassette tapes by high frequency alternating electromagnetic fields of the eraser head, [although the precise mechanism in AD plaque removal isn't clear yet.]<br /><br /> It's time to make a call :-)AmiyaMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377884408239081072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-38092694761111682492010-09-11T14:02:14.180+05:302010-09-11T14:02:14.180+05:30Hi Amiya,
Interesting topic you've got he...Hi Amiya,<br /><br /> Interesting topic you've got here. I don't know if it's sufficient basis, but whenever this topic about cellphones and its harmful effect crop up, I usually refer to the relationship between the energy carried by a photon and its frequency, i.e., E = hf. That means, the higher the frequency of the electromagnetic wave, the larger the energy it carries. Notice that X-rays and gamma rays have very high frequencies and hence very high energies. That's the reason why they can cause damage. In gamma rays' case, it can ionize. Now, if we use E=hf as a basis, then visible light, which has higher f than radiowaves, should be more harmful, right? btw, isn't the frequency of cellphones within the radio wave band and not microwaves. Not sure of this though. Anyway, just wanted to say hi but your post was just too interesting to resist. Have a nice day!johnVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497086605831347026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-49905920813711373962010-09-11T10:39:29.919+05:302010-09-11T10:39:29.919+05:30You can not be more right, Nigel! The brain is act...You can not be more right, Nigel! The brain is active as a whole throughout our life. I only meant to say activation of "certain portions" in relativistic terms. These portions are represented in the brain in the form of memory elements. For example, a hammer may elicit bad memories situated in the amygdala, 'excite' the visual cortex (V1), frontal lobes and many other parts of the brain. By examining a lot of subjects we can correlate which parts are activated when the picture of a hammer is seen. However, correlation is NOT synonymous with causation, as you pointed it out.<br /><br />I had pointed out the non invasive nature of fMRI in the first few lines though. I do agree that "still very crude and unsatisfactory" because of low resolution resulting from the fast EPI technique and this is the reason why images are acquired every 2-5 seconds and then reconstructed.<br /><br />The gem in your comment was the observation that the metabolically silent areas were doing relatively 'nothing'. Provided they were very 'efficient' (less oxygen, more work); or some other substrates yet to be identified were involved in neuronal activation, then we obviously can not throw away these 'dropout zones'.<br /><br />Yes, fMRI has a long way ahead of it and I am sure there's surprises awaiting. N.B.: some companies are resorting to mind reading, lie detection etc and the result need not always be true.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment Nigel.AmiyaMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377884408239081072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-35857084186235917022010-09-11T10:09:59.540+05:302010-09-11T10:09:59.540+05:30There's a very valuable comment from Nigel (ht...There's a very valuable comment from Nigel (http://www.blogger.com/profile/09986133525069356474) which I accidentally removed. Anyway, I salvaged the comment from the email and pasting it in verbatim below. Nigel, can you approve of this in a next comment, please!<br /><br />Nigel has left a new comment on your post "fMRI, BOLD and the Beautiful":<br /><br />"Whenever we do a task, think, dream, memorize, speak or see things, the brain is not activated as a whole; but only certain portions of it are activated. Activation, here, means increased metabolic activity of neurons in certain areas of the brain."<br /><br />If it were not for the tendentious definition in the second sentence above, the first would be outright false. As it is, it is merely extremely misleading. The brain is active as a whole, always (so long as you are alive). Particular cognitive tasks can lead to certain brain regions being a little bit more active than they might otherwise be (and perhaps to certain other areas being a little less active) and fMRI, done properly, can detect these differences (although with very poor spatial and temporal resolution compared to the fine structure of brain processes themselves).<br /><br />As fMRI is also non-invasive, it is a very useful (but in many ways still very crude and unsatisfactory) method for investigating brain function. However, it has been very oversold over the past few years, leading to nonsensical claims like the one quoted above. Just because fMRI (or other techniques) show that some brain region is a little bit more active during a certain type of cognitive task, it by no means follows that other brain regions (including, possibly, even those that are a little bit less active than usual) are not carrying out functions that are equally or even more essential to the task in question. Quite apart from all the methodological issues that plague fMRI, and have rendered many of the claimed results of fMRI experiments moot, even when done properly, although it can provide very valuable evidence, it tells us very much less about how the brain works than most popular accounts of it imply.AmiyaMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15377884408239081072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-43197092905418581402010-06-24T11:00:11.863+05:302010-06-24T11:00:11.863+05:30hello friends I really liked this information, a f...hello friends I really liked this information, a few days ago I read something similar on a site called <a href="http://www.woundinfection.net/" title="wound infections" rel="nofollow">wound infections</a>, I would like to receive updates on this issue, as it is very interesting, thanks!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692441059460235876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29257715.post-47860800375354629582010-03-10T14:10:30.340+05:302010-03-10T14:10:30.340+05:30The problem of memory loss that occurs daily is no...The problem of memory loss that occurs daily is not just a part of aging.
