“6x9” b2861 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matter

I claim that the following statement can be viewed as a corollary of FPT:

Intracellular mRNA molecules are dual messengers, since they can
transfer information from DNA to protein inside cells or from cells to
the human mind in microarray experiments. (7.32)

A second corollary of FPT may be formulated thus:

There exists a one-to-one correspondence between the patterns of
changes in mRNA levels in cells and cell behaviors, either normal or
pathological. (7.33)

Figure 7.24 The postulated mechanism of the brain–genome interaction underlying the
CTRA [336]. Social and environmental factors are known to influence human gene expres-
sion by activating central nervous system processes that affect hormone and neurotrans-
mitter activities in the periphery of the body. Peripheral signaling molecules bind to
cellular receptors to activate transcription factors, which in turn bind to characteristic DNA
sequences in promoter regions to initiate or inhibit gene expression. The figure was repro-
duced from [336].
