Thanks for posting.
The pyramidal cells are prevalent in level three of the brain tissue, the hippocampus, and amygdala. Their action potential firing rate determines the frequency of consciousness, i.e Delta, Theta, Beta, Alpha, Gamma...... They are multipolar neurons which create the matrix of brain wave function.
It appears that the pruning of the dendrites on these cells is associated with short term memory and schizophrenia. (It appears that long term pot smoking decreases function)
Pyramidal cells are governed by chandelier and basket cells. These cells influence the firing rates and frequency of the pyramidal cells.
I’ve been researching the mystical aspects of consciousness as they relate to the gamma firing rates of these cells. Many years ago when I was in the psychology research lab hooked to an EEG I decided to meditate while watching the monitor of my brain waves. As I reached meditative consciousness, the brain wave monitor appeared to flat line. Upon closer examination, they were not flat, but contained many small saw tooth fluctuations that appeared flat except by very close examination. That was my first experience with gamma frequency of consciousness while hooked to a monitor.
What I have determined is that during prayerful meditation the pyramidal cells firing rate increases to gamma frequency and it allows me to tap into a higher part of my own consciousness. The real question is “What controls the physical process?”
The basket and chandelier cells firing rate is influenced in an inhibitory fashion by the neurotransmitter GABA while the excitatory influence is glutamate and modulated by acetylcholine.
I have found that the brain stores memories at the intersection of the two consciousness fields of the hippocampus and amygdala. These two fields create a consciousness hologram, the frequency of which is determined by the frequency of consciousness at the time the original event creating the memory was stored.
They hippocampus field creates the framework for the hologram while the amygdala creates the emotional component and content in the framework. This allows the same memory to be retrieved by either logical or emotional consciousness.
My reason for studying this is that ever since my death experience, I feel the consciousness fields and stored holographic memories in these fields as physical objects.
It allows me to remove PTSD trauma in a few minutes after a person has held the trauma for many years.
This also explains what causes many learning disabilities in children and many other personality attributes.
I’ve found that this system is also the source for cancer, MS, and most auto immune disorders.
It explains the neuroscience of the mystics and how they develop their abilities.
Just my humble opinion on the anatomy & physiology of the human soul. It’s easier to demonstrate than to explain.
I must laugh at all the research with transmagnetic cranial stimulation which tries to influence these brain wave fields by influencing them with magnetic fields in a helmet placed upon the fields. They keep finding that the change is temporary...Duh!
It’s easier to do it with your own consciousness and if done correctly, the end result is permanent. The main problem is that science does not recognize that the diameter of this consciousness field is at a minimum 30 feet in diameter.
You are clearly far more knowledgeable and understanding of this topic than I may ever be, but, whatever is going on at these most fundamental levels takes place within the truly bizarre realm of quantum physics/mechanics, at least in terms of initial molecular activity. ie, how does a thought or any fundamental mind process get 'sparked' into existence in the first place?
Here's a link to the Google search results for "consciousness quantum mechanics". There are some mind blowing articles and theories here as to the possible connections.
You had a death experience?
Wow.
And thanks for the informative post.
