Molecular Neurobiology (BRAIN CHEMICALS) with Crystal Dilworth
b'Serotonin! Dopamine! Norepinephrine! Neurotransmitters: what\'s their deal? Dr. Crystal Dilworth, aka Dr. Brain, stops by to have a spirited discussion about how chemical messengers change our moods and behaviors. We chat about depression, anxiety, what chemicals drive us to get off the couch, how antidepressants work, ADHD, addiction, the microbiome, new habits, quitting smoking, starting meditation, Oreos vs. cocaine, SSRIs vs. SNRIs, what it\'s like to hold a human brain in your hands and if she would donate hers to science. Also: what\'s up with "lizard brains?" \\n\\nDr. Dilworth\'s website: www.crystaldilworth.com\\n\\nSocial media links: www.instagram.com/polycrystalhd & www.twitter.com/polycrystalhd\\n\\nA donation went to: seejane.org\\n\\nSponsor links:\\xa0withcove.com/ologies; mytruition.com/ologies;\\xa0LinkedIn.com/ologies; betterhelp.com/ologies (code: OLOGIES); Stitchfix.com/ologies\\n\\nMore links up at\\xa0alieward.com/ologies/molecularneurobiology\\n\\nTranscripts & bleeped episodes at: alieward.com/ologies-extras\\n\\nBecome a patron of Ologies for as little as a buck a month:\\xa0www.Patreon.com/ologies\\n\\nOlogiesMerch.com\\xa0has hats, shirts, pins, totes and STIIIICKERS!\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/ologies\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/ologies\\n\\nFollow\\xa0twitter.com/AlieWard\\xa0or\\xa0instagram.com/AlieWard\\n\\nSound editing by\\xa0Jarrett Sleeper\\xa0of\\xa0MindJam Media\\xa0&\\xa0Steven Ray Morris\\n\\nTheme song by Nick Thorburn\\n\\nSupport the show: http://Patreon.com/ologies'
