Brain as a Mitochondrial Magnetotactic Colony

Meer over het boek

Exploring the unique relationship between mitochondria and brain function, the book delves into the evolutionary origins of mitochondria as proteobacteria and their ability to form colonies. It highlights the significance of mitochondrial networks in nerve endings, emphasizing their role in neurotransmitter release and brain control. The presence of magnetotactic properties in mitochondria and endosymbiotic archaea suggests a complex interaction with the Earth's geomagnetic field, revealing a fascinating interplay between biology and magnetism in neural processes.
