New Brain Tissues
New brain tissues are body tissues whose special biological programs are relayed through the cerebrum — either the cerebral medulla (for self-devaluation conflicts) or the cerebral cortex (for separation, motor, blood sugar, territorial, belonging, and similar "sense and respond" conflicts). New brain tissues respond to conflict by undergoing cell loss and/or functional loss during the active phase, then rebuilding — often to a greater size — during the healing phase.
The distinction between new brain and old brain tissues is one of the organizing principles of the Third Biological Law (the Ontogenetic System of Special Biological Programs).
"New brain tissues" refers to the evolutionarily younger tissues whose special biological programs are coordinated by the cerebrum: the largest and most recently evolved part of the brain.
New brain tissues fall into two groups based on which part of the cerebrum relays them:
- Tissues relayed through the cerebral medulla are associated with self-devaluation conflicts — conflicts involving one's perceived capability, worth, or status. These include muscles, bones, connective tissue, blood, lymph, and the gonads. These are the "luxury group" tissues of the new mesoderm germ layer. Most of the benefit of the special biological program takes place at the end of the healing phase.
- Tissues relayed through the cerebral cortex are associated with separation conflicts, territorial (masculine) conflicts, belonging (feminine) conflicts, motor conflicts, and blood sugar conflicts. These include sensory tissues, squamous epithelium, the coronary vessels, the bronchi, and the urogenital organs. These are the ectoderm germ layer tissues.
In contrast to old brain tissues (which grow during the conflict-active phase), new brain tissues undergo cell loss and/or functional loss during the conflict-active phase. During the healing phase, these tissues rebuild, often becoming larger and more functional than before the DHS. This rebuilding is the biological mechanism by which new mesoderm tissues in particular become permanently stronger and larger, rendering the organism "more capable," and producing a majority of what would be seen as a visible evolution of the organism after going through a special biological program.
(Although the evolution occurs in the psyche, brain, and throughout the body in the DNA as well)
Ectoderm (cerebral cortex) healing phases do not involve microbial activity. New mesoderm (cerebral medulla) healing phases involve appropriate bacteria in the reconstruction of necrotized tissue.
