Chemical signals consciousness

Negative entropy is also expressed in the ordered three-dimensional structures of complex proteins, protein-nucleic acid complexes, molecular machines, biological membranes, and so on. Metabolism and chemical signaling too are highly and meticulously ordered processes. Use your brain to think about the brain the degree of order in the creation of trillions of connections among nerve cells that is required to allow us have that most amazing facility, consciousness. 

The members of Group 1 are called the alkali metals. The chemical properties of these elements are unique and strikingly similar from one to another. Nevertheless, there are differences, and the subtlety of some of these differences is the basis of the most subtle property of matter consciousness. Our thinking, which relies on the transmission of signals along neurons, is achieved by the concerted action of sodium and potassium ions and their carefully regulated migration across membranes. So, even to learn about sodium and potassium, we have to make use of them in our brains. 

Neurons are the specialized cells through which virtually all the processes that occur in the central nervous system take place, from the control of movement and autonomic functions like breathing to complicated tasks like producing conscious thoughts. Internally, neurons use a combination of chemical and electrical signals, while communication between neurons is done mainly through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. 

Strychnine prevents the pn>per operation of the chemical that controls nerve signals to the muscles. The chemical controlling nerve signals works like the body s off switch tor muscles. When this off switch does not work correctly, muscles throughout the body have severe, painful spasms. Even though the person s consciousness or thinking are not affected at first except that the person is very excitable and in pain), eventually the muscles tire and the person can t breathe.
