Scientists have found a second brain in the human body MOSCOW, 2 Jun — RIA Novosti. In the human body is the “second brain” that resides in the intestines, and Australian scientists were able to understand how it works, says Science Alert. Enteric (intestinal. — Approx. ed.), nervous system (ENS) consists of millions of neurons that govern the gastrointestinal tract. The system and peripheral operates independently from the Central (CNS) consisting of brain and spinal cord. “It’s actually himself the brain,” said Professor Flinders University Nick Spencer, adding that the ENS can be called the “first brain”, since it appeared before the Central nervous system in the course of evolution. Experts analyzed the electrical impulses in the neurons of the colon of mice and found that Enns synchronously activates excitatory and inhibitory neurons, which trigger muscle contraction in the intestines. According to the study authors, earlier science was not known

In the Crimea will be fined for violating the law on resort collection SIMFEROPOL, 2 Jun — RIA Novosti. In the Crimea will introduce a system of fines for non-compliance of the law on resort collection, told RIA Novosti the head of Committee of the Crimean Parliament on health-resort complex and tourism Alexey Chernyak.

Astrophysicists have predicted three paths of human development A group of astrophysicists led by American Adam Frank built a model of the development of activitatii, in which they identified three possible ways of development of mankind, writes the magazine The Atlantic. MOSCOW, 2 Jun — RIA Novosti. In the model astrophysicists civilization used resources for evolution and expansion. The more resources extracted from the bowels of the planet, the wider population, however, proportionately deteriorate the environmental conditions. In the end, the environment must go across the boundary when the population growth becomes unstable, and it will face the threat of extinction. So scientists have added to the model, the switch between the two types of resources. So, the first option produces a lot of energy, but ecology is much worse. When using the resources of the second type of energy production is incomparably greater, but the conditions of life no
