20240128 : Communication protocol...

Some days back, I had written about why i feel the muscles have strands and each of them being connected to the brain separately... (https://mindofmystrokedbrain.blogspot.com/2024/01/20240124-balancing-equations.html) Come to think about it, I am guessing that there are such connections and strands for not just muscles but every part of the body - bones, ligaments, tissues, skin and every organ we have. Thinking about it, in orders of magnitude, it probably is in hundreds of thousands at least (maybe even Millions). Here is the most interesting thing. All of them are connected to the brain through the spinal cord. The spinal cord is about 1cm in diameter. Not only that, not exactly circular in cross section but it is hollow like a very long and thin cylinder. The centre of the spinal cord is filled with spinal fluid. It is not circular, but it's given that it cannot be very big with that cross section area.  What follows is the engineer in me speaking.... Well, the hundreds of tho

When the nurses give me my glasses, it takes about 2 seconds to reach for it, 2-3 seconds to position the fingers correctly on the frame, and another 3-4 seconds to place it on my face properly and adjusted. Now, that is not the speed at which the brain is thinking of the action. It moves like anyone else. The body doesn't. That is just an example. Almost every action is in slow motion - left hand of course, right still is asleep. I would like to attribute it to the limb and muscle, but I know it is not. The left hand started to move almost 3 years back and for the last year or so, it has been exercised everyday and gets enough movement to be ok I guess. But it isn't. Everything happens in slow motion compared to the corresponding thought that drives it. I have wondered often why that is so. I have a theory (not medically backed up of course) Our big bulk of head - the brain - controls everything about the body. Just absolutely everything...  The big hulk of the body - as wonde
