It seems no scientific study has been able to find evidence of the afterlife, and empirical studies along with materialism reject such ideas on the continuum of consciousness after death. Present knowledge of physics seems not fit enough to describe why and how the life of the brain functions and is different from the zombie computer. Here, I show the probability of an afterlife by three simple thought experiments and theoretical evidence. I suppose consciousness is an effect of a few facts, including unidentified two microparticles, nature and nurture, which may be crucial to making life in the brain. One micro particle might carry its evolving genome, and the other is made the uniqueness of consciousness of any given brain. Such two particles' behaviors may go beyond general relativity and quantum mechanics theories. According to the thought experiments, there is no option other than the probability of an afterlife, though we could not find the mechanism precisely. If this hypothesis is valid when a brain death, the specific particles couple might emit and bond simultaneously with a zygote or early embryo by traveling in infinite velocity. However, this theory might be a proverbial hypothesis, yet not a theory of everything the mysterious consciousness and life of the brain.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) modernization has been proposed for many years, but the progress is still slow due to both ideological and technical obstacles. When I went to Japan in 1989, I found Japan has made a great progress on TCM by using modern technology. Therefore, I have studied a fine extract prepared from medicinal herbs (renamed Yi-Zhi-Yi-Shou, YZYS), a prescription of Dowager Cixi’s Yanling-Yishou-Dan of Qing Dynasty, with the current drug investigation strategies. I examined its antioxidant activity both in vitro and in vivo. The in-vitro studies found that YZYS possesses strong antioxidant capacity, such as scavenging various kinds of free radicals, and inhibits free radical-induced peroxidation of brain homogenate, microsomes, mitochondria, amino acids, deoxyribose and DNA. The in-vivo study with immobilization-induced emotional stress in rats, showed that YZYS effectively inhibits stress-induced stomach ulcers and oxidative damage in plasma and the brain. In addition, YZYS is shown to be non-toxic in both acute and chronic toxicity tests. These studies demonstrate that YZYS is a potent natural antioxidant and offer theoretical evidence for the beneficial effect of YZYS on health and brain functions, and that TCM prescriptions can be studied scientifically as modern medical drugs.

Humankind faces many problems like terrorism, crime, the collapse of the family unit, drug abuse, war, theft, etc. I did this multidisciplinary research to find whether there are primary and common psychological reasons or not. So, I have discovered some fundamental factors that are significantly limited or revers of the human intelligence by some decisions making and those limitations might be due to activating of delusional thoughts and decisions which are declined of intelligence, mainly cause by psychological mind viruses (MV) in them, as I hypothesis, here. Those issues are impacting optimal living, psychological, physical, and social well-being. So, better practical solutions and preventive methods are needed. The leading psychological limiting factors for intelligence development are known as MV and its' remedies are healthy mind viruses (HMV). Intelligent learning, training (meditation), and Intelligent decisions might evolve the nature of the brain, nurture, and X-ultra quantum conscious particle genome (X-UQCPG), all these six factors seem to be interdepended. The X-UQCPG might bond with the X-ultra quantum unique conscious particle (X-UQUCP). However, the X- UQUCP might never evolve or change and it might maintain the uniqueness of the conscious state of a person. The X-UQCPG helps to evolve the latent potential level of well-being and optimal living gradually of the related person. Here, I show the unearthed core of early Buddhist teachings, training (meditation), and decisions inclusive of the 8-fold path may be an efficient methodology for Intelligence evolution. The evolution of nature, nurture, X-UQCPG, psychological well-being, and intelligence might be represented in a theoretical 3D graph. If life after death occurs, when clinical death of a person's finally evolved level, and micro quantum key of the X- UQCPG (+X- UQCUP) might be crucial to natural transmission to bond with a matching and vacant zygote/early embryo of its X-ultra quantum particles and its new conscious state, might depend on the lastly evolve genome of the X- UQCPG. However, there are many more mysterious issues to be solved in future researches, so this might not be a theory of everything on the central theme.

Schizophrenia is a severe and, at the same time fascinating disorder. It is traditionally defined as a «dissociation» of higher brain functions, which implies a modular organization of the brain up to its highest levels of organization. This short review shows how the study of the disorder is still flawed by fundamentally different definitions of the disorder, and that a consistent naturalistic approach may help to revise the vocabulary of psychiatric disorders, opening the way towards a neurobiologically informed psychiatry. Empirical studies and clinical importance supporting this novel approach are summarized.

So, I have found some fundamental factors that are significantly limited or revers of the human intelligence by some decisions making and those limitations might be due to activating of delusional thoughts and decisions which are declined of intelligence, mainly cause by psychological mind viruses[ MV] in them, as I hypothesis, here. Those issues are been impact on optimal living, psychological, physical and social well-being. So, better practical solutions and preventive methods are needed. The leading psychological limiting factors for intelligence development are known as MV and its’ remedies are healthy mind viruses [HMV]. The intelligent learning, training (meditation) and intelligent decisions might evolve the nature of the brain, nurture and x-micro particle genome [X-MPG], all these six factors seem to be interdepended. The X-MPG might bond with the x-unique micro-particle [X-UMP]. However, the X- UMP might never evolve or change and it might maintain the uniqueness of the conscious state of a person. But, the X-MPG helps to evolve the latent potential level of well-being and optimal living gradually, of the related person.

However there are many more mysterious issues to be solved in future researches, so this might not a theory of everything on the main theme.

The education system in Indonesia emphasize on academic intelligence, whichincludes only two or three aspects, more than on the other aspects of intelligence. For thatreason, many children who are not good at academic intelligence, but have good potentials inother aspects of intelligence, do not develop optimally. They are often considered and labeledas "stupid children" by the existing system. This phenomenon is on the contrary to the theoryof multiple intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner, who argues that intelligence is theability to solve various problems in life and produce products or services that are useful invarious aspects of life.Human intelligence is a combination of various general and specific abilities. Thistheory is different from the concept of IQ (intelligence quotient) that involves only languageskills, mathematical, and spatial logics. According to Gardner, there are nine aspects ofintelligence and its potential indicators to be developed by each child born without a braindefect. What Gardner suggested can be considered as a starting point to a perspective thatevery child has a unique individual intelligence. Parents have to treat and educate theirchildren proportionally and equitably. This treatment will lead to a pattern of education that isfriendly to the brain and to the plurality of children’s potential.More than the above points, the notion that multiple intelligences do not just comefrom the brain needs to be followed. Humans actually have different immaterial (spiritual)aspects that do not refer to brain functions. The belief in spiritual aspects and its potentialsmeans that human beings have various capacities and they differ from physical capacities.This is what needs to be addressed from the perspective of education today. The philosophyand perspective on education of the educators, education stakeholders, and especially parents,are the first major issue to be addressed. With this step, every educational activity andcommunication within the family is expected to develop every aspect of children'sintelligence, especially the spiritual intelligence.

In this paper, the statistics of excitation-tangles in a postulated background ideal-superfluid field is studied. The structure of the Standard Model is derived in terms of tangle vortex-knots and soliton. Gravity is observed in terms of torsion and curvature in the continuum. In this way, non-linear dynamics and excitations give rise to a unified field theory as well as a Theory of Everything. As a result of this unification, spacetime and matter are shown to be fundamentally equivalent, while gauge fields arise from reorientation and excitations of the the fundamental underlying field. Finally, the equivalence of topological and quantum entanglement is explored to posit a theory of everything in terms of long- and short-range entanglement between fundamental quantum units (bits) of information.

This chapter uses thought experiments and practical examples to introduce, in a very accessible way, the hard problem of consciousness. Soon, machines may behave like us to pass the Turing test and scientists may succeed in copying and simulating the inner workings of the brain. Will all this take us any closer to solving the mysteries of consciousness? The reader is taken to meet different kind of zombies, the philosophical, the digital, and the inner ones, to understand why many, scientists and philosophers alike, doubt that the mind–body problem will ever be solved.

Lead (Pb) neurotoxicity is a major concern, particularly in children. Developmental exposure to Pb can alter neurodevelopmental trajectory and has permanent neuropathological consequences, including an increased vulnerability to further stressors. Ascorbic acid is among most researched antioxidant nutrients and has a special role in maintaining redox homeostasis in physiological and physio-pathological brain states. Furthermore, because of its capacity to chelate metal ions, ascorbic acid may particularly serve as a potent therapeutic agent in Pb poisoning. The present review first discusses the major consequences of Pb exposure in children and then proceeds to present evidence from human and animal studies for ascorbic acid as an efficient ameliorative supplemental nutrient in Pb poisoning, with a particular focus on developmental Pb neurotoxicity. In doing so, it is hoped that there is a revitalization for further research on understanding the brain functions of this essential, safe, and readily available vitamin in physiological states, as well to justify and establish it as an effective neuroprotective and modulatory factor in the pathologies of the nervous system, including developmental neuropathologies.

Injuries and hidden dangers in training have a greater impact on athletes ’careers. In particular, the brain function that controls the motor function area has a greater impact on the athlete ’s competitive ability. Based on this, it is necessary to adopt scientific methods to recognize brain functions. In this paper, we study the structure of motor brain-computer and improve it based on traditional methods. Moreover, supported by machine learning and SVM technology, this study uses a DSP filter to convert the preprocessed EEG signal X into a time series, and adjusts the distance between the time series to classify the data. In order to solve the inconsistency of DSP algorithms, a multi-layer joint learning framework based on logistic regression model is proposed, and a brain-machine interface system of sports based on machine learning and SVM is constructed. In addition, this study designed a control experiment to improve the performance of the method proposed by this study. The research results show that the method in this paper has a certain practical effect and can be applied to sports.

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the effects of SNAP25 on the integration ability of intrinsic brain functions in children with ADHD, and whether the integration ability was associated with working memory (WM). Methods: A sliding time window method was used to calculate the spatial and temporal concordance among five rs-fMRI regional indices in 55 children with ADHD and 20 healthy controls. Results: The SNAP25 exhibited significant interaction effects with ADHD diagnosis on the voxel-wise concordance in the right posterior central gyrus, fusiform gyrus and lingual gyrus. Specifically, for children with ADHD, G-carriers showed increased voxel-wise concordance in comparison to TT homozygotes in the right precentral gyrus, superior frontal gyrus, postcentral gyrus, and middle frontal gyrus. The voxel-wise concordance was also found to be related to WM. Conclusion: Our findings provided a new insight into the neural mechanisms of the brain function of ADHD children.
