all I am hearing about this week is dopamine. We did brain scan A on population B (kids on screens, alcoholics, schizophrenics, ADHDs, you name it) and saw their DOPAMINE WENT TO C!! It just seems quite odd that we can reduce the well-being of the human spirit to just one single neurotransmitter. This week I'm feeling like "we did an fMRI / PET scan on population X" is like the new phrenology since I don't get the impression the structure of the brain is so well understood that these scans point to some irrefutable facts about the subjects being scanned.
