How Drugs Work

[nisarga]

Hi Folks,

Here is a link to a page of a PBS series on Drugs - this page has a series of animations that show medical science's present understanding of how drugs work. The animations show what happens in the gap between neurons of our brains (the gap is called the synaptic cleft).

How is this related to WSM?
When you combine the animations of what happens in the gap with Dr Karl Pribram's findings of how our brains function holographically it provides a picture of how wave interactons govern our experience of life.

What I see is that the electrical activity of our brains/neorons (waves) generate the chemical activity (waves) that bridges the gap in a normal brain (one that is not under the influence of some drug).

When a drug is introduced, it is a new chemical that works by 'fitting' onto or into a transmitter or receiver (like a socket and plug); then the chemical alters the experience by replacing the normal 'healthy wave' with the 'chemical wave' that the drug provides (and since it is not 'normal' it also produces side effects).

Since the drugs can only be effective because they 'fit' - the receivers that these drugs connect into/onto has to be there already. In turn this means that the experience that the drugs provide is available without the drug... I feel that this explains the effect of things like hypnotism, belief, and placebos, etc.

And what this reveals is that the 'gap' or SPACE and what happens there is tremendously important.

Clearly I am not an expert on the neuroscience of this, yet I feel very strongly that a deeper understanding of the nature of this 'gap' and what happens in it will reveal much about Space and waves.

ps - I found it helpful to first view the animation of How Brain Cells Communicate - view the others and then watch this one again - the animations are all fairly short.

Nice link James,

I have found my best work to have been performed with a clear head, myself! - Now I know why!

Of course, there can be no real 'gap' when all is Space, so it must be some other form of Space! Must be in/out waves in motion, plus other properties. So, 'Space' does not equate to 'nothing', as WSM describes it. Quite the opposite, in fact!

Well found!
