Fig.1.The pink colored area at the center of the brain is the thalamus.In all the three sections,saggital, coronal and axial the thalamus is found to be located at the center.
Our brain is the main part of our body and controls all our key organs and activities.A patient is not declared dead until his brain is dead.Once the brain is dead, all the hopes are shattered.There is a great deal of division of labour found in the brain. The brain is divided into two parts; the left brain and the right brain.The left brain controls the right part of the body and the right brain controls the left part of the body.Hence, when there is paralysis of the left body part,we say that an area controlling the left body parts is damaged in the right brain.The right brain performs philosophical function (deep thinking) and the left brain performs analytical functions(Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan).The male gender is localized in the right brain,hence male are philosophical, and the female gender is localized in left brain, and hence females are analytical and never think deep(exceptions are always there).Our eye sight is controlled by an area in the brain(occipital lobe),our speech is also controlled by an area in the brain (Brocas area).Every emotion of ours and all the activities which we do can be traced to an area in the brain.
Fig.2.Thalamus (room in Latin) is the Central relay station located at the center of our brain.Our self (nafs) or consciousness or 'I' resides in the thalamus.
Fig.2.Thalamus (room in Latin) is the Central relay station located at the center of our brain.Our self (nafs) or consciousness or 'I' resides in the thalamus. It is a recent discovery that our consciousness (self),which is the seat of all desires, resides in the central part of the brain called 'Thalamus'.Thalamus was known as the relay station of our brain since long.But that it is the seat of consciousness was proved with an incident which Dr.O.Wilson has mentioned in the 6 th chapter of his book "Consilience-the unity of all knowledge."A lady,Mrs.X, dank a cocktail of Gin (alcohol drink),Valium (drug) and dexamethorphan (cough syrup) and suddenly went into coma and died after some 15 days.When the doctors dissected her brain, they found that her thalamus was charred like a coal.The drug combination which the lady drank,effected her seat of consciousness causing a shock circuit.She was in coma,means her body was working but her consciousness was dead. Thus it was proposed that the 'I' or the consciousness resides in the thalamus.The 'I' or the self was an enigma since long,and the location of 'I' or consciousness is an accidental discovery.The 'Me' resides in the thalamus of brain.Thalamus is a Latin word and it means 'room'.The thalamus is the room of our 'I' or consciousness.

Fig.3.The central pea like structure with two compartments is the thalamus. Now I would like to quote some sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam which are as follows,
The Holy Prophet of Islam(a.s) said: "The most severe of your enemies is your own self (nafs) that is placed between your two sides."
Uddat al Dai:page 314,Bihar ul Anwar:64/67,chapter 45,hadith-
1
The Holy Prophet of Islam(a.s) said: "The highest holy war is a war against one own self (nafs),between the two sides."
Wasa ilaal Shaia:15/162,chapter 1,hadith 20214.
The above two amazing sayings of the Holy Prophet of Islam make it clear that our self ('I') is located between some two structures.At this point, we announce to the world of science and religion that at last we have located the seat of our self, which is the thalamus.
Which part of the world you stay in ,that you have this kind of opinion about man and women? And farther more spreading in internet as Islamic!Nothing was discover without analysis and philosophy is the outcome of the analytic process. And the conscious part of brain is not the thalamus but is the reticular formation.
ReplyDeletePlease do learn throughly about the humen brain first.Do not just try to corellate anything to hadith and Quran. Did you study the cerebral cortexes first?
Dear brother,
ReplyDeleteDid you read the book "The Dragons of Eden" by Carl Sagan,who was the director of Viking Mission at Nasa.? In that book he wrote,backed by Functional MRI evidence,that the female area is located in the left brain.And it is also given in the same book that all the evil arises in the left brain.And,secondly it is given in the book "Consilience" by O.Wilson,in chapter-6 that our animal self resides in the thalamus.And these two people,Carl Sagan and O.Wilson,are the greatest American scientist of 20th century.They are 100 times more knowledgeable then you are.
You are talking as if all the knowledge end on you.Do not be so rude.So I advice you to go through both the book which i have mentioned and then think of what i have written.Imam Ali says in Nahjulbalagha that women is evil all in all, so much so that no one can remain without her.And if you read hadith of the Prophet of Islam it is given that cursed is that man who follow the dictates of a women (wife) and it is also given in hadith that men should do the contrary of what a women advices.So bother please read books and hadith before using rude language.You are simply rejecting the verdict of science and Islam.
"The result of thalamus excision alone is brain death, or, more precisely
ReplyDeleteput, mind death. The thalamus comprises twin egg-shaped
masses of nerve cells near the center of the brain. It functions as a relay
center through which all sensory information other than smell is transmitted
to the cerebral cortex, and therefore to the conscious mind.
Even dreams are triggered by impulses that pass through thalamic circuits.
Quinlan's drug accident was the equivalent of blowing up a
power station: All her lights downline went out, and she entered a
sleep from which she had no chance of wakening. Her cerebral cortex
lived on, waiting to be activated. But consciousness, even in dreams,
was no longer possible."

"Pride goes before destruction and haughtiness before a fall."
ReplyDeleteMeans,haughtiness and pride are signs of destruction; destruction of self.
