The process—or story—of this work began, tracing back to February 2017. After working for about four years on a non-medical health initiative focused on preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the author expanded his efforts to include non-traditional activities aimed at reducing early cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s disease. It was at the stage (stage 4), he learned about the individuality—or separation—of each nerve cell (neuron), along with the gaps or spaces between them in the nervous system, which was discovered in 1888 by the Spanish pioneer neuroscientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. At the same time, the author observed a striking absence of information in the mainstream scientific literature regarding any cognitive activity of neurotransmitters within these spaces after their release from the presynaptic neuron. Beyond the well-known processes—such as enzymatic degradation, reuptake by the presynaptic or glial neurons, and diffusion away from the synapse—no cognitive functions were documented.
