Pineal gland and melatonin hormone

Pineal gland is pine-cone shaped gland so it's name is pineal. It is small pea shaped gland in the brain located on the roof of diencephalon or third ventricle behind anterior choroid plexus.

Th pineal gland was once know as the "third eye" it's function isn't fully understood. The primary function of pineal gland is to produce melatonin(amine hormone).
It secreted only during night when no light fallen on retina.
Melatonin has various function in the central nervous system the most important
Of which is to help modulate sleep pattern.
Melatonin production is stimulate by darkness and inhabited by light.

Generation, conduction and transmission of nervous impulse

Neurons are excitable cells because their membranes are in a polarised state. Do you know why the membrane of a neuron is polarised? Different types of ion channels are present on the neural membrane. These ion channels are selectively permeable to different ions. When a neuron is not conducting any impulse, i.e. resting, the axonal membrane is comparatively more permeable to potassium ions (K+) and nearly impermeable to sodium tons (Na+). Similarly. the membrane Is impermeable to negatively charged proteins present in the axoplasm. Consequently, the axoplasm inside the axon contains high concentration of K' and negatively charged proteins and low concentration of Na+. In contrast, the fluid outside the axon contains a low concentration of K+, a high concentration of Na+ and thus form a concentration gradient. These ionic gradients across the resting membrane are maintained by the active transport of ions by the sodium-potassium pump which transports 3 Na+ outwards for 2 K+ int...

How to Supercharge Your Dopamine Levels Naturally and Never Feel Depressed or Anxious Again

Dopamine is the brain’s master chemical. This single neurotransmitter is responsible for a plethora of mental and physical processes. By learning how to stimulate your own dopamine levels naturally, you can overcome depression, anxiety, apathy, and fear, while boosting feelings of pleasure created by this amazing little neuron. Dopamine is what rewards certain behaviors in us so that we do them again, and why certain drugs are so addictive . Cocaine , heroine and other opiates cause a dopamine “super reward” which makes their use highly desirable, until you experience the dopamine crash that comes once the illicit drug is absent from the physiology. The opiates bind to the opiate receptors in the brain, increasing a dopamine release, but once gone, there is an ever-increasing need for more opiate (or other drug) to induce the same dopamine-high. This is what causes drug addicts to resort to ever increasing, negative behaviors...

Quran addresses The various aspects of what we now call the theory of special relativity,length contraction, time dilation and the speed of light

Hi, I think most people would agree that very few things in life are absolute.When you’re at the car dealership for example,And the car salesman says: “This is my absolute lowest price!” It’s safe to say there is still a little bit of wiggle room there.Or if you ask your friend what their favourite food is And they say: “It depends It depends on my mood, the time of day etc. etc.”It depends. How often have you heard that in response to a burning question? Life, it turns out, is pretty relative.And you’ll be happy to know that Einstein would agree.In his theory of relativity, Einstein asserts That both time and space are relative concepts.Debunking Newton’s theory that time and space are absolute.In fact, the only absolute constant in Einstein’s special relativity Is the speed of light.Its value will always measure the same for any observer in uniform motion.It will always be about 300000km per second in a vacuum And never faster.According to NASA, before1905,When Albert Einstein pub...
