I thought I would post this to see if anyone else on the forum had any interest in neurochemistry, and it's impact on behavior, pharmacology, and biological function. I considered putting this on the drugs board, but decided it had more to do with chemistry than drugs. So, lets have a discussion about neurotransmiters, peptides, conditioned response through dopaminergic reward, or whatever else floats your boat.

I have thought about that sort of thing, but more along the lines of using electricity. Like connecting things to the brain, fusing together the human mind and the power of machine.

My thoughts and studies concentrate on how neurhormones, peptides, endorphines, seritonan, dopamine, along with many other transmitters act upon act upon, and stimulate drug responses. Any thoughts?

Personally, I am very intrested in the ''power of machines'' combined with the mind. However, i want to know, if a human is endorsed with advanced machine parts, will it improve the human, or turn the human into a robot, only to act when an order is given?

Hmm, you could possibly control people and/or transfer information back and forth between the brain and a computer via neurotransmitters. Maybe you can also turn people into cameras and see through their eyes? On the dopamine issue, if you disconnect the dopamine regulators in your brain, you would be on a perpetual high. Not even cocaine would give you a buzz, and you'd be obliviious to nearly everything. .

Maybe you can also turn people into cameras and see through their eyes? Believe it or not, they've already done that. They made a device which paraplegics can use to walk--IIRC, it's an internal frame in the legs which is connected intrabody to a device plugging directly into the brain. The brain's signal to walk is captured and interpreted by the device, which sends the orders down to the legs, and makes them move. For more potential applications of mind to machine technology, check out any decent Cyberpunk book, movie, whatever. Especially RPG books (Cyberpunk 2020, Shadowrun...you can probably download them on Kazaa or irc.nullus.net #bookwarez-rpg, if you're into that).

I love the subject... it's really too bad you're dead, Pharmacist...
