A very morbid-looking picture to greet one and all. But then again, do not underestimate this powerful picture.

Today I deliberately took a day off from work (not because of exams or because I wanted to study or so) but all because I was totally shagged beyond belief. I just wanted to like take a break to sleep it out and to like do what I wanted to do for the whole day. Actually I do realise something. We people tend to underestimate the power of our brain or at least, the conduits of our thought-making processes. So I just wanted to talk about it especially since it was a recently acquired knowledge and a stark realisation that dawn upon me.

Our thoughts

Firstly people, our sensory pathways collate all the information that our sensory mechanisms capture (for instance, sight, hearing and etc) and it sends those information to the buffer place called the "short term memory" and thereafter, the information gets sorted out according to its level of importance and soon after, it 'parks' itself into our Long Term Memory. To make matters even interesting, our Short Term Memory can only hold 7 things. Scientist have found out that we can use "chunking" to store more than 7 items into our memory. Cool eh ?. So basically can you imagine all this happening less than a nanosecond or even shorter ?. I mean how many of us know that every information from our sensory pathways are being ingrained into our memory ?. So basically, thinking is a tedious process. You can get mentally tired from all those "work" right ?.

Corpus Callosum

Our brain is divided into 2 parts called the left and the right cerebral hemisphere and the corpus callosum connects the left and the right cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication. How many of us know that split-brain patients normally have their corpus callosum severed in an operation called 'corpus callosotomy' ?.Well its done this way because interhemispheric electrical storm is caused on one side of the brain and it will cause severe epileptic seizures in those patients. So yes. They still function like normal people until scientist found a very interesting experiment in which we can figure out their weaknesses. I'll talk about it another day - cos I don't wish to hold some sorta class here :P ).

Coming back

Anyways coming back to my subject, thinking can be a very tiring process and so, technically we need our sleep to 'recharge' our body and mind. But what if the brain and the mind stops thinking ?. What if you know that all those information is working its way into your mind and all those information are sending the neural messages to the brain and formulate an action ? Really, having a myriad of thoughts can be tough. It can be especially tough if you're trying to ask them to "shhhh". So I kind of decided to read up more on "Schizophrenia" because this "shhh" part actually reminded me of their struggle.Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that is caused by a breakdown of the thought processes and something that elicit an atypical response. It's really so sad that people can be haunted by their own auditory hallucinations, grandiose thinking, bizarre delusions and so on. I was reading up on it and I found a video that documented a real-life incident of a boy called Gerald. I posted it on Facebook. It was quite scary and painful to watch him speak so incoherently. Then I watched another video where a person brought the Youtube users into a whole new world - to the world of patients with Schizophrenia - how they would hear voices. It was spooky. So I decided to do something. I have mapped out a plan - an idea actually. I'll elaborate it in detail on vitzspeaks.blogspot.com. I need to visit it over and over again to remind me of that plan (I can easily forget things, so yes). Let's see how it goes.


Anyways peeps, I've decided to blog on a frequent basis - yes, both blogs. Not because I want people to read but plainly because I miss blogging. Blogging improved my train of thoughts. It really did. So yes. I love the advantages of blogging and it feels like I am BACK ! Haha. So watch this space out yo.
