The article presents mathematical modeling of the brain and mind as a potentially historic revolution. A mathematical representation of the mind and brain would be historically revolutionary if achieved. Equations for consciousness and cognition could transform human self-understanding. The brain remains outside the level of mathematical description achieved for other natural phenomena. The brain is described as an exception to domains that have been successfully modeled mathematically. The article asserts that neuroscience has not yet produced a successful mathematical or numerical understanding of the brain. The brain is presented as the common denominator for all bodily experiences. Certain types of mercury can cross the blood-brain barrier. Mercury can accumulate in brain tissue after crossing the blood-brain barrier. Pain or discomfort may be caused by any factor that changes signals reaching the brain. AGE accumulation can cross-link myelin and synaptic structures, according to the article. The glymphatic system is described as clearing metabolic waste including accumulated AGEs during deep sleep. Mercury accumulation in the brain causes inflammation and tissue damage simila…
