How does the brain control the functions of your body?
To ensure that they work together, messages are sent by the brain to other organs. Everything that happens within your body is controlled by the brain. It tells your stomach to digest food and your lungs to breathe air; it tells your arms and legs to move.
Your brain consists of billions of nerve cells connected in groups called neurons. Action potentials are electrical signals that neurons send to one another. Every neuron has an outer cell membrane that surrounds its nucleus. Inside the membrane are channels that allow ions such as sodium and potassium to enter and leave the cell. Ion movement creates the electric charge that causes the neuron to fire.
When a neuron fires, chemicals called neurotransmitters are released into the space between the neuron and the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind with receptors on the second nerve cell, opening ion channel channels to allow ions in and out. As a result, second neuron fires as well.
When another neuron sends an impulse to the presynaptic neural cell, neurotransmitter is released. The impulse travels along an synapse between the neurons. The transmitter binds to the receptors on the postsynaptic neural cell, which triggers the firing of that neuron.
For communication within the nervous systems, neurotransmitters are essential. They also help coordinate activity between different parts of the brain.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include companies like the MPAA ("Motion Picture Association of America"), which determines film ratings. The RIAA ("Recording Industry Association of America") sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions and guilds also represent actors, directors, writers, producers, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, embrace them. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
They also tell us about the movies that are most likely to succeed and which songs are most popular.
They are, in short, what help us choose what we will watch, read and listen too.
We can trust them and can disregard their advice if it is not in line with our preferences.
We choose to ignore them and they become even more powerful. They are the supreme arbiters of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
Let's now take a look into some lesser-known but very real Hollywood secret societies.
You'll see why they are so important.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
You might be surprised at the answer. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is a reason why this place exists. And it is not what you would expect.
It was known as the City of God to the ancient Greeks. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
It's also known as Kashi (Kashmir) in India. In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One small community in western New York State with 1,200 residents vanished without a trace. No bodies, cars, houses, nothing was left behind except a road sign pointing to its former location.
This little community vanished and no trace remains to indicate where or when it disappeared. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others believe it was destroyed by a meteorite. Still, others say aliens took it away.
Whatever happened, the residents of this once-thriving community are convinced that their town isn't gone forever. They had just moved to another town.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
Then, where is it? It's in Switzerland, actually!
You can find Zugspitze at the border of Austria and Germany. Lake Zugspitze can be found just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why is it that some disappear while others live on? I set out to find out.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What causes a town to disappear? What makes a place disappear?
There are many theories to explain the phenomenon of disappearing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory suggests that the town simply moves somewhere else. A third theory holds that the town did not exist.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
