There is a recent collection of papers in Science, Brain Cell Census, introduced with, “Deciphering the genetic diversity of the 86 billion neurons that make up the human brain is paramount to understanding the molecular basis of our capabilities and what goes awry in neurological disorders. In this collection of papers—published in Science, Science Advances, and Science Translational Medicine—the National Institute of Health’s Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnology (BRAIN) Initiative – Cell Census Network (BICCN) presents a large-scale multi-omics analysis of the human brain at the cell-type level.”
There is a major conflict in Europe and another in the Middle East. How does the brain cell census help to understand bias, justifications, hate and disagreements in those conflicts?
It was observed in the census that, so far, there are around 3,300 different cell types in the brain. The question is what model of cells might work, in how behavior is understood?
Cells communicate. They use electrical and chemical signals. But do cells just communicate with those signals, or could those signals mean more?
What builds the hate that individuals experience, can it be nerve cells? If so, at what location within cells, or how? If the connections are explained to be responsible, how come? There are thousands of synapses from one neuron to others, so how do these connections decide?
It is proposed that the human mind is the collection of all the electrical and chemical impulses of nerve cells, in sets, with their features, interactions and arrays. It is theorized that clusters of nerve cells at different locations in the brain often have sets or loops of impulses that decide emotions, feelings, thoughts, consciousness, modulations and memories.
Hate is hypothesized to be loops of impulses, with higher intensity of features and interactions. Features of sets of impulses include pre-/prioritization, early-split/go-before, sequences, distribution/shares, principal spot, ration/fills, thick/thin shapes, arrays and rotation.
Whatever is hated often gets longer prioritization times. It is widely distributed. It uses old and new sequences, changes arrays and sometimes moves into the principal spot.
This, conceptually, is how hate works. Electrical and chemical impulses in loops or sets interact and have features that make hate significant. Displaying this could be a useful way to measure or explore what goes on in the mind, while hating something and how hate leads to violence.
There are neutralizing features for hate, at times. There are also distributions that minimize the strength of hate. In seeking peace or to resolve conflicts, it may be helpful to explore this, as a rough mind map, towards good progress, transparently and strategically.
