Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves
Summary: Researchers reveal the role glial cells play in the sensation of pain. Source: Medical University of Vienna. The sensation of pain occurs when neural pathways conduct excitation generated by tissue damage to the spinal cord, where the nociceptive information is extensively pre-processed. From there, the information is transmitted to the human brain, where theContinue reading “Pain is Not Just a Matter of Nerves”
Taste Of Beer Triggers Release Of Dopamine, happy neurotransmitter ; Cocaine bullies dopamine; MAO affects dopamine levels
Beer lift your spirits up The taste of beer alone is enough to raise one’s spirits. The taste is linked with the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that controls the brain’s distribution of pleasure, according to a news study published in Neuropsychopharmacology. “This is the first human demonstration that a stimulus that is reliably associatedContinue reading “Taste Of Beer Triggers Release Of Dopamine, happy neurotransmitter ; Cocaine bullies dopamine; MAO affects dopamine levels”
Eggs for happiness/joy
Eat your eggs to promote hypocretin/orexin since absence of these neurotransmitters for happiness/joy can lead to obesity, depression and narcolepy (irresistible sleepiness). Stress lowers levels of orexin while family/social support system and love increases levels of orexin. Eggs A little over a decade ago, scientists discovered that narcolepsy, the neurological disorder that leads to episodesContinue reading “Eggs for happiness/joy”
