The human brain is working in the system of dual coding: a hypothesis

Abstract

How the human brain is working is up to now unclear. Using singular neuron as an object, and pharmacological agents as a tool the neuron activity in general in the mammalian CNS has been described. The basis of all investigations was the study of dimmer (heteromer) structures associated with G-coupled receptor proteins on the surfaces of neuron membranes isolated from the own usual circle. We can organize the recombinant movement by means of physiological concentrations of pharmacological reagents if these processes were lasting in the network neurons native brain. That is, the ideal conditions for the processes generation in the neural impulse were reconstructed.
