Ancient viruses shaped our brains

 Ancient viruses shaped our brains

Our developed brain, the damage to viruses, especially in mammals, amphibians and fish, myelin additional) makes itself easier) owes its name to a retroviral element called "Retromelin" that plays a major role in the production


According to the study, the discovery of myelin, a key factor in the evolution of the nervous system of hopeful vavonons, was facilitated by the recombination of viruses into the genome.


Observing the presence of retromyelin in species and helping to treat its major role in protective myelination is not only elucidating the molecular mechanisms of myelin development, but also influencing elements in vertebrate evolution.

Why we need math ?

Knowledge of mathematics is useful in life. It's not about solving trigonometric equations.  Reason 1. Ambiguity      How did the reforms of Peter I affect the development of the state? A controversial topic. Why did certain events happen in history? Can a legal state listen to its citizens? An ambiguous issue.      And finally: 3x + 4x = 7x. Yesterday, 50 years ago, in Africa, in crisis, in bad weather. Reason 2. Development of thinking      A child has learned to count, if he is only engaged in calculation, sooner or later he will lag behind in development. Of course, the brain can calculate using complex algorithms. But not the depth of thinking, only the speed develops.      Later, geometry, trigonometry, stereometry, and logarithms are introduced. Each successively more complex topic helps the development of the student's mental capacity: analysis and generalization skills, abstract thinking, the ability to think with...

What is Biology ?

Image
 ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF BIOLOGY      Biology (Greek: bíos, bios, "life"; and lógos, logos, "knowledge") is the study of life and related issues. It is a branch of empirical science that studies the structure, functions, changes, origin, evolution and death of living organisms. He sorts out various organisms and describes their functioning, species' emergence, and mutual and environmental relations. Biology is divided into different branches such as botany, zoology, and physiology. Biology appears as a science that unifies the system of knowledge about living nature. Because the evidence previously studied in this science is brought to certain systems from the point of view of history, and their sum makes it possible to determine the basic laws of the organic world. Based on these laws, rational use of nature, its protection and restoration are carried out. Currently, the following research methods are used in various fields of biology. These include observational,...
