NIH BRAIN Initiative—How Does the Mind Regulate the Body?

By David Stephen

Sedona, AZ — Why is it easier, in general, to eat than to exercise? How does the mind determine when a function is ready, or its level of operation or completion in an instance?

Conceptually, there are configurations for various functions of internal senses, defining the limits and the extents of their activities from the mind. This means that the ways they function are principally determined by the arrangements [or measures] of the components of mind.

So, if an individual is appetitive or has other sensations in the body, it indicates that there is a specific arrangement that resulted in the mind, for that to be experienced.

What are the components of mind and what is the mind within the cranium but distinct from the [rest of the] brain? This question means that to find out how the brain makes [or cohabits with] the mind, what would be the candidates for the mind within the cranium? The human mind is postulated to be the collection of all the electrical and chemical signals, with their interactions and features, in sets, in clusters of neurons, across the central and peripheral nervous systems.

This means that the components of the mind are the electrical and chemical signals. The electrical signals are in transport while chemical signals are near-stationary. It is the chemical signals that hold the configuration for functions, while electrical signals strike them in interactions to result in the right configuration, for a specific measure of a function.

It is theorized that functions are obtained when electrical strike at chemical signals, in interactions. This implies that the basis of the operation of mind is the interaction of the principal elements.

This interaction is graded by electrical signals in sets, and then chemical signals in sets as well, so that what results as functions or becomes experienced is simply the grades from both components that defined the interactions.

There are a number of graders [or qualifiers] for electrical signals and for chemical signals. They include splits, distributions, sequences, thick sets, thin sets, prioritization, pre-prioritization, intensity and so forth.

Since inputs arrive by electrical signals, they often strike at chemical signals to access or shape them into available configurations. This means that, in a set of chemical signals, the number of configurations could be 1-10, in ascending order. When functions are normal or regular, they may operate, say around 2, but may consistently increase, as electrical signals arrive with different intensities [delivering what they bear and to pick up a summary of what the set holds].

Simply, electrical signals have varying intensities that additionally decide, at the destinations of chemical signals, the appropriate configuration.

So, for a certain function to get prioritized [or attention], and stay so until an action is taken, it would have been building configuration volumes, by chemical signals, so that as it gets higher, it becomes prioritized [meaning it has the most volume among all sets, in an instance]. There is just one prioritized set among all sets of signals in any instance, though there are often fast and numerous interchanges with pre-prioritized. Prioritization may also sometimes be a result of the intensity of electrical signals or the abundance of [the excitatory] glutamate, in a set, more than others, conceptually.

There is a range of volume for which prioritization is likely, in some cases, and when the build reaches, by a set of chemical signals, they become prioritized. Although they may remain prioritized in the instant, other sets with similar ranges but higher may take prioritization as well, within an interval. Since the intensity or strike force of electrical signals on a set of chemical signals may also decide prioritization in a moment, volume maximization—of a chemical signal or chemical signals in that set—often determines the ability to stay prioritized longer within an interval. Distribution may determine what is pleasurable, for example, with eating over exercising by reaching to sets of pleasure, while principal spot or arrays may indicate readiness or not, for something, with interest or fatigue sometimes. Components of mind often determine functions.

There are activities, post-completion, that may sometimes result in the experience of using a stimulant or a sedative. It is theorized that whenever a stimulant is said to block the re-uptake of chemical signals, the result is that electrical signals are unable to strike certain sets into some shapes or access some configurations, resulting in bouncing off, somewhat with higher intensities than would have been, making it possible to deliver elsewhere [or relay as such]—hence stimulation. Also, some volumes of chemical signals in many sets are not depleted, so reaches [to unlikely sets] and bounces [of electrical signals] are generally more. These reaches may include the set [and prioritization] for cravings [resulting in the addictive nature of some stimulants]. This may also be used to explain [why] the blocking of opioids receptors, by opioids, against pain, may become addictive, conceptually.

Sedation is different. It is established in neuroscience that sedatives boost the activity of [inhibitory] GABA. It is theorized here that GABA’s abundance in some sets of signals is also [sometimes] responsible for pre-prioritization, or responsible for a configuration or measure that does grow into the prioritization range. Simply, the configuration for a set of chemical signal, with GABA in abundance can be theorized to be a notice for other volumes in the set to stay at a low range, hence pre-prioritization. So, GABA could mean stay low, while glutamate could mean spike. This might be possible, conceptually, with how they file in the set, to reduce [GABA] or induce [glutamate] other chemical signals. Also, GABA maybe available at some rows or columns of the set of chemical signals, such that the ability for a full take off for electrical signals for greater intensities from there is abridged. Then, the ability [of electrical signals] to strike the set fully, with GABA in abundance may also be tapered, resulting in pre-prioritization and then at more measures, sedation, conceptually.

Simply, specific combinations of chemical signals in a set, give off functions, hence experiences—after strikes by electrical signals. Dopamine, for example, which is implicated in reward, is never alone, in deciding. The configuration has to be near accurate, including of glutamate and others, as well as the intensity of electrical signals and splits.

Regulation

The directive that is sent, from the cranium, on how functions across the body should operate are obtained by the volumes of chemical signals in specific sets. This means that the volume reach could mean the difference between little to no sensation and a lot of sensation.

The intensity of electrical signals also matters. There are volumes that fill constantly that may then peak at a certain measure, with expectation of an action. There are also counters. For example, thirst—in a hot weather—could be prioritized which can only be countered by cold water. The set of chemical signals for temperature can be said to be a thick set, for several temperatures, such that when one part rises in volume, the other side’s volume dips.

In summary, chemical signals in sets, give and take information on operations of internal senses across the body. Electrical signals use their intensity to shape what measure is sent or received by the set.

The NIH BRAIN Initiative may consider explorations of concepts of electrical and chemical signals, as the mind, to explain several observations about the brain, as well as how it applies to AI.

There is a recent press release, NCDHHS Invests $20 Million in Transportation Program for People Experiencing a Mental Health Crisis, stating that, “The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services today announced a $20 million investment made possible by the NC General Assembly in Non-Law Enforcement Transportation, a promising practice of providing trauma-informed transportation for people in mental health crisis who need to be transported from emergency rooms to residential treatment. In the past, much of this transportation was provided by law enforcement; but non-law enforcement transportation provides a safe, therapeutic alternative for people already in mental health distress. Currently, many counties across North Carolina rely on law enforcement to transport individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. This often involves the use of police vehicles, lights, sirens and, in some cases, handcuffs — all of which can unintentionally turn a routine transfer into a traumatic experience. The new transportation program aims to decriminalize and destigmatize the process of seeking mental health care.”

There is a recent story on KJZZ, New Arizona charter school will use AI in place of human teachers, stating that, “At least one Arizona school will be handing off teaching duties to artificial intelligence in 2025. The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools’ approved an application for an AI-based virtual academy on Monday. Unbound Academy, which also operates in Texas and Florida under the name Alpha Schools, claims that kids can learn twice as much using a two-hour learning plan that gets customized by an AI program instead of a traditional human teacher in front of a classroom. Kids begin their day with two hours of instruction on standard topics like language, math and science, guided by an AI that continuously adjusts the learning plan based on how the child is doing in each subject. This is not the same kind of AI as the kind behind programs like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, but Unbound says it’s more capable than human teachers at tailoring lessons for individual students’ success. Adults do have a place in Unbound’s classrooms, but it’s not in an academic capacity — they serve the role of motivation and emotional support to keep students on task. Unbound also wants its students to develop other skills using the time freed up by the AI learning plans.”
