RE: Sex, Drugs and Neurotransmitters
Huh, I learned something new. Didn't know these neurons go in reverse, which sort of explains how we manage pain in itself, come to think of it. Would it then, based on this information, be one of the variables that make some people more resilient to pain and, likewise, resilient to anaesthesia? I figure there are many other factors to take into account, of course.
Pain is the result of nerve stimulation. What mostly affects stimulation is the built-in chemical immunity some people are born with, as well as a lesser number of neurons. Those who feel less pain are most liking feeling less of everything else.
Might be? I'm not that informed about neurobiology, my studies focus mainly on genetics. That's why it took me a while to research info for the post ^^
Ah, I see. I'm still stalking... I mean looking through your posts. It's all so fascinating!
I hope you enjoy reading them ^.^ And if you feel like upvoting something, please check the post's age first. It wouldn't be the first time that someone upvotes something older than 7 days. While it's really nice, it's just a waste of voting power.
Yeah, I learned that the hard way in my first week. So far, I'm really enjoying everything, especially your at-work posts and your fiction.
