hormone is correct it, is a neuromodulator and not neurotransmitter say saith wiki
Hope you understand all that stuff better than I do DB, anyway I know you do :).
i think it is most relevant during a live birth without a c-section when the mums brain floods with it(and probably the infants as well), or at least thats what i’ve been told by people with more interest and background in psychology than me.
of course a neuroscience PhD student told me that from her perspective there is nothing different between ritilan and adderal cuz they show up the same on an MRI… well fuck me silly and call me sally cause there is alot of difference for the user and thats probably more important than a dumb old brain scan…
gist of this post is that i take science with a grain of salt.
wiki articles on hormones, drugs and neurotransmitters are suprisingly good
I dunno if I’d have expected to see that much difference between adderal and methylphenidate on an MRI TBH. Similar stims, similar action I’d have thought. I’d expect different metabolites to be produced yeah, but don’t know if you’d see or expect much difference when looking at an MRI. I’m not saying it was a waste of time or anything, these things should absolutely be done so we can gain a better understanding of these matters.
yeah i’m not disagreeing that they look the same on a brain scan, it just makes me feel like that takes primacy over what the user is telling you about the experience.. cart before the horse type deal
edit: maybe not cart before the horse but i doubt the horse is hooked up to the cart
Don’t know how much different scans would be across a large spectrum of stimulants but I imagine there are differences to be expected across the range.
eh probably just in the strength of the reaction if given a standard dose but other than that i don’t think there is any way to tell them apart from just the scan
I can believe that DB.
yeah its just really frustrating that we haven’t came up with something markedly better for mapping the brain.
We had good drugs to help with that side of things and the governments of the world were so pleased at this progress in medical science they banned the lot.
lol i wish you were joking
So do I mate, seriously wish lol.
sometimes i think i’m in a really prolonged orwellian nightmare and soon i’m gonna wake up and someone is gonna offer me something off schedule 1 or class A and be like “can you believe this is legal?”
Unfortunately everyone is trapped in that very same nightmare.
except the people who only drink alcohol and/or smoke tobacco everything is good for them no nightmares except of legal weed and what not
