Elon Musk reposted nature @Nature Scientists have created the first map of mitochondria throughout the entire brain Lyndy @MJisMAGA · Amazing, of course I went to Grok for more information: This statement means that researchers have developed a comprehensive, detailed representation—or “map”—of mitochondria across all regions of the brain for the first time. Mitochondria are tiny structures inside cells, often called the “powerhouses” because they produce energy for cellular functions. In the context of the brain, which is a highly energy-demanding organ, understanding the distribution, density, and characteristics of mitochondria can provide insights into how brain cells (neurons) function, how energy is managed, and potentially how certain neurological diseases might develop when mitochondrial function goes awry. Creating such a map likely involved advanced scientific techniques, such as imaging (e.g., electron microscopy or fluorescence microscopy), data analysis, or even computational modeling, to visualize and catalog mitochondria across different brain areas. This could reveal variations in mitochondrial presence or behavior in regions like the cortex, hippocampus, or cerebellum, shedding light on their role in healthy brain activity and possibly in conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or other energy-related disorders. In short, it’s a groundbreaking achievement in neuroscience that gives scientists a new tool to study the brain at a cellular level, focusing on these critical energy-producing components. Sarah COG @sarah7cog Hey @elonmusk it has also been discovered that certain types of meditation "light up" the brain & dramatically increase energy in the brain (& simultaneously in the heart)! This has been documented by the research done by Dr Joe Dispenza (mainly, but not exclusively, in the areas of neuroscience, epigenetics & quantum physics). Mitrix Bio @PathfinderEq Note that our researchers (and dozens of others all over the world) now routinely transplant massive volumes of mitochondria into the body Mito transplantation = one of the hottest fields in medicine. Human trials now underway. Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, AMD, sepsis, strokes, heart disease, COPD, post-chemotherapy syndrome, etc etc. Even Long Covid according to recent research (Covid like many viruses, damages mitochondria) Poster Comment: If I had the money, I would build a far red and infrared incandescent tanning system capable of stimulating the mitochondria everywhere in the body. You will need very long infrared to penetrate the skull to rejuvenate the human brain's mitochondria. You would only need 10 minutes a day on each side.
