The Wonders Of Neuro-chemicals-II
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
The group of such hormones includes ACTH (acetylcholine) and epinephrine. Significant amount of cholesystiqunine responsible for controlling acidic secretions in the stomach and glucoverticoides, secreted by the adrenal gland, is detected in the brain too. Scientific studies suggest the possibilities that these hormones might also be reacting as neuro-spinal transmitters whose excess in the brain may cause different psychosomatic disorders. The psychosomatic diseases which manifest as peptic ulcer, cardiac arrest, mental instability, irritation, Bowels syndrome, ulcerative colitis, etc, are believed to be caused by the imbalance in the concentrations of above hormones. It should be noted that the occurrences of these types of diseases are increasing at a rapid rate and at present almost three-fourths of the world population especially in the developed and developing countries - is suffering from such abnormalities. Little perturbation in the normal secretion pattern of the hormones such as the dopamine, gawa, serotonine etc, causes deformation in very sensitive centers of the brain and the nervous system and gives rise to amnesia, mental instability, Parkinsons disease, etc.
A healthy, well-educated, multi-talented scholar might also lose his memory and intelligence during the transition period of aging when such hormonal disorders are more likely to occur. Those who remain cheerful and keep themselves active in creative tasks and thus naturally restrain the secretion and negative effects of the MAOs and inhibitors, do not risk such hormonal problems in old age. Neurochemists have found that the hormones secreted by the pineal and pituitary glands not only control the sex related activities, but, more importantly, they also affect and regulate ones decision making capabilities, thinking and sense of time and space etc.

Thus, the hormonal secretions associated with puberty serve multiple purposes. Scientific studies have shown that the level of androgen sex hormone in males that is responsible for manhood and body-characteristics including the shape of testicle etc and the ability of time and space recognition and grasping power of men are interrelated. Lesser the level of androgen more would be the possibility of impotency and mental dullness. Similar interrelationships between mental sharpness, sex related functions of the body and mind, and specific hormonal secretions are found to exist in the females too.
The complexity of neurohormonal chemistry is so high that only a small fraction of the related reactions and functions has so far been analyzed in the laboratories. Collaborative research in psychology, endocrinology and neurology has become essential for identifying some of the latent activity and sensory centers in the human brain. The collective efforts of researchers at the Michael Ridge Hospital, Chicago, Massachusetts General Hospital and the Stanford Research Center are progressing well in this direction.

Let us hope that deeper investigations in this regard would one day provide the knowledge of the subtle centers like sahastrara, brahmrandhras, anandmayakosha, agya chakra, etc, described in the ancient science of yoga, in a manner comprehensible to the modern scientists. Findings of the above kinds of research would explain, in new scientific light, the mechanisms of rousing or suppressing the development of personality and transforming human behavior with the help of activation or inhibition of these subtle centers of consciousness in human brain.
Elucidation of psychosomatic disorders and knowledge of controlling related mental complexities would be the other benefits of these developments. The now available knowledge of the sensitivity and multiplicity of neurochemical reactions gives us a glimpse of how the disciplined experiments of different sadhanas could awaken the internal powers of the brain. Practicing of many spiritual sadhanas is easy, harmless and inexpensive. Everybody can benefit from them in a natural way. Adopting them in day-to-day life can bestow manifold benefits on human society. The sincere practices of specific sadhana can transmute an ailing human life into one of immense peace and creative bliss.
