| Consider fact checking, I might be wrong, but here are some correlations: Neurotransmitters: - Dopamine (movement, working memory) ~ Tyrosine ~ Protein - Noradrenaline (alertness) ~ Tyrosine ~ Protein ~ Cold Showers - Serotonin (mood stabilization) ~ Tryptophan ~ Protein - Acetylcholine (memory and learning) ~ Choline - Glutamate (neuronal "on switch") ~ Protein - GABA (a neuronal "off switch") ~ Dopamine/Noradrenaline Downregulation ~ Lithium Orotate ~ Anxiety Inside your cells - Adenosine ~ GABA Release ~ Caffeine (blocks it) - Adenosine-Di/Tri-Phosphate ~ ADP + phosphate <-> ATP + Energy ~ Creatine (brain cells are cells too) - DHA/EPA ~ "machine oil for your brain" ~ https://presse.inserm.fr/en/lipids-serving-the-brain/14416/ So with these, you can look up how medications like LDX (dopamine, noradrenaline) and MPH (dopamine) work and start your research from there with these simplistic pointers/correlations in mind. The human body has way too many variables f(x1, ..., xn) --> ? ? ? yi ? ? ? You can only see some output (i.e., yi), but you likely cannot see all outputs (i.e., all y's). Keep in mind: those correlations stem from a layman's simplistic point of view. Experts (i.e., medical doctors, biologists) can interpret the correlations better (and also might see more outputs/y's). I therefore, suggest: Gabor Mate (ADHD ~ trauma ~ modern society), Robert Sapolsky (noradrenaline ~ anxiety ~ amygdala). |
