I watched this about the Human Genome on tuesday January 9th. It if so interesting. Just a treat for those science minded.

Thanks for posting this, Jane.
It's a treat for those who are *all* 'minded'. (0:

OK.

PS Jane..wow..you get repeat TV programmes on your internet...we just get highlights and stories here..We can find the story, but not a whole video like that...very cool..I wish we could do that with all the current affairs shows here

Thus, beginning with the level of available RNA at, let us say, 90% of the total, and with a level of brain activity at twice the minimum needed to just maintain consciousness, the supply slowly drops.
The minimum synaptic firing rate that just maintains consciousness depends on how much RNA (ribonucleic acid) is available.
If during our waking hours we maintain a level of activity twice this, then consciousness can be maintained until we have “used up” half of the RNA, which will require 16 or so hours
... when the amount of available RNA begins to drop below the 50% level
... synaptic activity
... will no longer support consciousness ...
The quotation above is important.

The brain (http://www.eurekah.com/chapter/1271), in particular, exhibits a number of nonmessenger RNAs that are brain specific and in most cases even neuron-specific. This chapter lists prominent examples of neuron-specific RNAs that do not encode proteins, with emphasis on small nonmessenger RNAs (snmRNAs) and discusses their potential functions in those cells.

Increasing evidence suggests that the development and function<sup> </sup>of the nervous system is heavily dependent on RNA editing and<sup> </sup>the intricate spatiotemporal expression of a wide repertoire<sup> </sup>of non-coding RNAs, including micro RNAs, small nucleolar RNAs<sup> </sup>and longer non-coding RNAs. Non-coding RNAs may provide the<sup> </sup>key to understanding the multi-tiered links between neural development,<sup> </sup>nervous system function, and neurological diseases.
