Cognitive fatigue involves declines in alertness, orientation, and mental performance on cognitive tasks and is associated with feelings of exhaustion that follow sustained cognitive demands (83). Individuals with autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, often experience cognitive deficits and increased perceived cognitive fatigue associated with impaired cortical brain activity as determined using near-infrared spectroscopy (83). While there is a lack of specific tests in animal models regarding cognitive fatigue, the relationship between pro-inflammatory cytokines, especially IL-1β, and cognition is described (84, 85). Increased neuronal activity is observed with cognitive activities or whisker stimulation (86, 87), which enhance the expression of IL-1β or TNF-α in corresponding brain areas or barrel cortices (88, 89), respectively. In rodents, intracerebroventricular (ICV) or intraperitoneal (IP) injections of IL-1β prior to memory training impairs subsequent cognitive performance using the Morris water maze (90), a test of spatial memory that utilizes the hippocampus (91), or the eight-arm radial maze which tests working memory (92). The area of the brain where the inflammation occurs mediates the effect of the behavioral impairments. This is observed, for example, by the infusion of IL-1β locally into the hippocampus, which impairs working memory in a hippocampal-dependent memory task such as the three-panel runaway task administered to rats (93). Disease-specific aspects of autoimmune disease can also influence types of performance decrements. For instance, ICV injection of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein 120, a molecule that enhances IL-1β and TNF-α in individuals with HIV, increases IL-1β levels in the hippocampus and impairs contextual memory performance in rats (94). Inhibition of ligands for pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ using transgenic knockout mice, siRNA, or more cutting-edge technologies such as optogenetics or chemogenetics further implicate the role of inflammation in altering components related to fatigue (70, 95, 96). IL-1R1 knockout mice or an IL-1RA applied to the circulation given peripheral LPS demonstrate cognitive dysfunction associated with a fear conditioning test suggesting that reduced activation of peripheral inflammatory activity can inhibit central mediated behavior (97). However, evidence in animals also indicates that pro-inflammatory cytokines are required for normal behavioral functions and that an optimal zone exists for proper functioning (70, 84). This effect is seen in mice lacking IL-1R1 or mice given an IL-1RA to the periphery, which demonstrate reduced cognitive responses in the Morris water maze (90, 98, 99). Nevertheless, other studies demonstrate mice lacking IL-1R1 demonstrate normal learning in cognitive tests including the Y-maze, T-maze, and Morris water maze (100).

A primary mechanism that activates IL-1β occurs through the activation of inflammasomes (109). Inflammasomes are large intracellular signaling protein complexes found within the cytoplasm of most nucleated cells including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, and perivascular macrophages in the brain (Figure 1) (44, 109, 110). Inflammasome activation involves a priming step and a secondary step that induces the formation of the complex to activate caspase-1 to cleave the pro-forms of IL-1β and other IL-1 family members, such as IL-18 and IL-33, into their mature active forms (111). The priming signal involves the activation of transcriptional processes such as NF-κB or AP-1 to produce the components of the inflammasome as well as the pro-forms of the cytokines that will be activated upon inflammasome formation and subsequent caspase-1 release (112, 113). Inflammasome priming can occur by the activation of different types of receptors including the IL-1RI by IL-1β, TNF receptor I by TNF-α, or the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) by LPS to activate NF-κB (114). JNKs and MAPK/extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) pathways, which can activate AP-1 mediated transcription, also are implicated in the activation of inflammasomes (115). Most inflammasomes contain a nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor or an absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2)-like receptor (109). The nucleotide leucine-rich protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is the most widely characterized inflammasome, although multiple types of inflammasomes exist with unique recognition abilities in response to specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) or danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPS) (111). PAMPs and DAMPs include components of pathogens, energy-related molecules, double-stranded or single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), or chemical substances. PAMPs and DAMPs are recognized by their specific associated pattern recognition receptor (PRR). These processes lead to the recruitment of the adapter apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a C-terminal caspase recruitment domain (ASC; also known as pycard1) and pro-caspase-1, which conglomerate to activate caspase-1.
Vagal efferent nerves project to the reticuloendothelial system, other peripheral organs, and the brain-derived motor output (325). Acetylcholine plays a large role in modulating the anti-inflammatory actions of the vagal efferent nerve on systemic and local peripheral inflammation (326). Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors in the CNS can induce anti-inflammatory effect on the periphery. This effect has been observed with the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor galantamine in the activation in the CNS. The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha-7 (α7 nAChR) is a mechanism that signals the vagal efferent aspects of the anti-inflammatory effect. Cholinergic vagal efferent stimulation can downregulate CD14, TLR4, and NF-κB activation thus inhibiting pro-inflammatory processes within the periphery (68). This suppressor effect can be, in part, attributed to the activation of the JAK-STAT pathway. Additionally, the vagal efferents are involved in reducing hepatic glucose production and enhancement of glycogen synthesis and pancreas secretion of insulin, which could modulate metabolism and affect fatigue. Vagal nerve stimulation is used as an alternative therapy to inhibit TNF-α in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (327). Additional studies suggest that vagal nerve stimulation could benefit individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (327). The benefits of this anti-inflammatory treatment occur, in part, through the activation of cholinergic neurons to induce a suppression of peripheral inflammation, which then attenuates CNS inflammation. In fact, vagal nerve stimulation in individuals with Sjörgen's syndrome treated with a non-invasive method for 28 days were found to have reduced daytime sleepiness, improvements in fatigue, and reduced whole blood cells levels of TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, and IL-1β (328).
A friend recently asked for instruction on Activating Multiple Strand Spiritual DNA. Sushumna Channel& Ida and Pingala ChannelsThe activation of each additional 12 Strand increment increases the diameter of the Sushumna Channel. How this will feel is very individual. My personal experience is that once all 72 Double Helix Strands are activated and woven together, the Sushumna Channel fills approximately the center 1/3 of the physical body.Once you have activated the first 72 Double Helix Strands of Spiritual DNA, and have worked with this for a sufficient amount of linear time and are comfortable with maintaining this frequency, then you are ready to activate the next 72 Strands.The Second 72 Strands of Spiritual DNAThe activation of these 72 Strands is done all at once. I suggest, if possible in your daily life, you set aside two days of at least minimal physical exertion for this activation. (Alone time is always best, but is not always afforded to us in our day to day lives.) This will give you time to do the work with your Etheric Physician and then have a relaxing down time to let the physical body rest and adjust to the substantial frequency increase.The process is the same as with the smaller number strand activations. I highly suggest you meet with your Etheric Physician a few days, to a week or so before you plan on doing this activation to see if they have any specific instructions they would like for you to follow.The activation of this second set of 72 Double Helix Strands of Spiritual DNA creates a second outer wall of your Sushumna Channel.
Interestingly, D-xylose levels were elevated in ΔcdnL cells in all media tested, although xylose was not provided exogenously. Conversely, genes required to metabolize xylose are downregulated in ΔcdnL. Previously, xylose accumulation without an ability to metabolize xylose has been shown to upregulate isocitrate lyase (CCNA_01841) and initiate the glyoxylate bypass which promotes conversion of isocitrate to succinate, bypassing key TCA cycle intermediates such as α-ketoglutarate [22,24]. Additionally, upregulation of malate synthase (CCNA_01843) combines glyoxylate produced by isocitrate lyase to acetyl-coenzyme A to produce malate, allowing a modified TCA cycle to continue [22]. Consistently, we find that CCNA_01841 and CCNA_01843 are over four-fold and two-fold upregulated in ΔcdnL, respectively (S1 Table), suggesting low levels of α-ketoglutarate may arise due to activation of the glyoxyate bypass in addition to low levels of pyruvate and PEP. Since α-ketoglutarate is used to synthesize glutamate (Fig 4B), the glutamate auxotrophy of ΔcdnL cells may arise due to low amounts of α-ketoglutarate produced by the TCA cycle. Additionally, we found that gltB, which is essential for glutamate biosynthesis from α-ketoglutarate and glutamine, is over 4-fold downregulated in our transcriptomic analysis (Fig 5A, S1 Table). Collectively, our data indicate that changes in the transcriptome that arise when cdnL is deleted have detrimental consequences on metabolic pathways disrupting levels of key metabolites required for energy production and for amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis.
