and Humans

The more I have learned
about TMS the more I am astonished of how is parallels ancient wisdom.
Here in part II, I will layout what current science has found in
the relationship between magnetic flux (fields) and human/animal
behavior. You will see an unsettling connection to what our ancestors
have been telling us for centuries.
One of the best known prophecies/predictions of our Mayan elders
is the message of a changing paradigm. Webster’s definition
of ‘paradigm’ is: One that serves as a pattern or model.
A set or list of all the inflectional forms of a word or of one of
its grammatical categories: the paradigm of an irregular verb. A
set of assumptions, concepts, values, an practices that constitutes
a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially
in an intellectual discipline.
In the words of the Maya, it is said we are in a time of “change
and conflict”. The change is coming from the ‘outside’ in
the way of weather, natural phenomena, celestial disturbance, and
man made self-inflicted trauma. The conflict comes from the ‘inside’ in
the way of personal challenge, grief, bewilderment, depression, anxiety,
fear. It is said we are “at the cross roads”, a time
of choosing a new path, deciding a self and community direction,
venturing into the unknown, maintaining our true integrity of being.
Or, while at this junction of a quickly approaching ‘paradigm
shift’, we may choose sameness, stay with what is familiar,
place great effort to maintain “predictability”.
At this very moment I cannot tell you which final road I will venture.
As for now, I have made significant changes in my life. Most are
very personal so I will not lay them out here, but I can tell you
it is ‘not the path of my extended family’. In some ways
yes, the path of my father, but in most ways it is not. Many of you
have witnessed my personal challenge to mainstream i.e. global warming
zealots (which is not the popular politically correct view). And
of course my vocal disdain for the Bush administration. Although
the knowledge of this administrations deviance is well known today,
my decision began back in March 2003 when preparations were being
made to invade Iraq. I can’t think of more than 5 people who
supported me at that time. This is just a small personal example
of the ‘internal’ and ‘external’ challenges
one must take during this fast approaching time the Hopi call ‘The
Great Purification’. But it will be the challenges of our character
which will be the most difficult.
Ancient text in all forms; from the Bible to the Dead Sea Scrolls
to the Mayan calendar, all tell us of challenging times ahead as
we adjust, or morph, into our new state of being. Related to the
Earth, it will be in the form of earthquakes, volcano’s, tornado’s,
severe storms, heat waves and freeze waves. As related to humans,
it will be in the form of emotional and mental anguish such as depression,
anxiety, fatigue, rage, bewilderment. It will also be in the form
of new viruses and diseases.
Magnetic Fields, The Sun, and TMS
In more ways than one would have imagined. Here I will layout the
latest research in what medical science has learned about the influence
of magnetic flux or fields. Our ancestors knew there was a connection
between the Sun and other celestial events such as GRBs (gamma ray
burst) and its effect on us.
Many mental illnesses can be demonstrated to stem from the abnormal
behavior of particular brain regions, in much the same way that
diabetes is the result of malfunctioning cells in the pancreas.
It is believed that some mental disorders are the result of nerve
cells being over or under excitable (in other words, it is too
easy or too difficult for them to “fire” and work properly).
In this context, successful psychiatric treatment is achieved by
modifying these cells’ behavior. The range of effects produced
by TMS is a clear indication of its potential to work in this way.
One way to visualize how this comes together is to think in computer
terms. In many ways we are simply programmed through learned behavior
and repetition, which develops ‘neuro-pathways’. This
gives comfort and provides survivability in our community and environment.
When we do things which appear normal and familiar, we can experience
a sense of safety and predictability. Here is a recent study which
explains how humans and animals are “hard wired”.
When subjects are required to generate a random sequence of numbers
they typically produce too many forward and backward ‘counts’ (e.g.
5–6, 4–3). This counting routine is interpreted as the
consequence of interference by over learned tendencies to arrange
numbers according to their natural order. This is to say, we unconsciously
gravitate towards least resistance. In other words…to what
is familiar. Inhibition of such well-learned routines is known to
rely on frontal lobe functioning. When examining differential effects
of slow (1 Hz) and fast (10 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) over the left or right dorsolateral prefrontal
cortex (DLPFC) on random number generation (RNG) performance, it
was found increased confusion or increased excitement could be controlled
by magnetic pulse .
This is to say confusion was significantly reduced after the 1 Hz
stimulation compared with baseline, but significantly exaggerated
after the 10 Hz stimulation compared with 1 Hz stimulation. In contrast,
the sequences of the subjects stimulated over the right DLPFC showed
the well-known excess of counting in all conditions (i.e. baseline,
1 Hz and 10 Hz). These findings confirm the functional importance
of specifically the left DLPFC in sequential response production
and show, for the first time, that TMS affects cognitive processing
in a frequency-dependent manner.
In simple terms - the solar cycle has a direct effect on humans/animals.
Do you feel tired, fatigued, confused? Have you experienced bouts
of depression, anxiety, or mood swings? At the very same time, others
experience a sense of clarity, energetic, and sense of rightness.
My studies continue in showing a correlation between solar and celestial
activity i.e. solar flares, coronal mass ejections and gamma ray
burst, and a distinct fluctuation in human and animal behavior.
Activity-dependent modulation of cortical synaptic transmission is
a fundamental mechanism involved in learning and memory storage.
This modulation has been widely studied in vitro brain slices and
in vivo animal models. More recently, transcranial magnetic stimulation
has allowed detection of activity-dependent excitability modulation
occurring in the intact human primary motor cortex (MI) after execution
of different kinds of motor tasks. Both increased and decreased MI
excitability have been described after exercise. While increased
MI excitability is generally considered direct expression of cortical
synaptic plasticity, a controversy still exists as to whether decreased
MI excitability reflects fatigue of central nervous system (CNS)
structures or cortical neuronal reorganization taking place after
exercise.
