And when your body fails to develop serotonin or oxytocin in meaningful amounts, you go batshit crazy like me!
aoenofhorus
Are these actually hormones?
BenHipno
What’s the oxytocin do?
hitshappens
This is false because it's specific regions that are affected with varied levels. Some regions can have more, others can have less
CosmicPuddytat
But... but... this is wrong...
Stacyanna
Haha unstable me woud break these
thissuperglueworksjustfine
Anybody got more of that Serotonin?
VodkaReindeer
Not hormones.
nobodyinpoortent
I'm always confused by this. I see two neurotransmitters and one neuropeptide.
micotyro
I want to point out that dopamine is tricky because it controls many things in the brain so its hard to pin down how its affected
Frederf
strawmanAlert
Those are neurotransmitters.
punchcostello
two of them are. Oxytocin is a neuropeptide. But for what it's trying to demonstrate it doesn't matter.

Fuckin' dopamine

Nope.

What is dopamine to the max and everything else minimum
stuckinaoffice
Is the same hormone released during a work out the same as having sex? Went a jog with my gf yest and when we got in she was in the mood.
MrSebu
Dopamine, yes.
Softcreamybeige
Ik everyone is saying this, but for serotonin especially, it's complicated as shit. 90% of serotonin is produced and functions in the 1/

enteric nervous system. It does everything from sleeping, to heart rate, to suggestion, and more in addition to happiness /end
sassybeckalicious
Hilariously I chose dopamine for my car decal - and i'm a fairly anxious person. lol. I need to add a few decals!

Can I be a dopamine donor instead of a blood donor?

Yeah, I'm gonna need some sources. My psych/bio knowledge is pretty limited.

There are actually anti-depressants that have inverse functions (serotonin inhib/enhancer) while achieving the same result, so... . .
HarryPotterReferenceProbably
From what I understand there's no actual way to measure the chemicals in the brain. It's all speculation. Can't get past brain barrier

Which explains why people in love become anxious and depressed so easily...

And why some are more sensitive to e.g. narcotics addiction than others.

Yes, there is a serotonin bandit on the loose and we must find him. Awayyyyy

Well, are you alright?
MetaSomma
When you're overstimulated, one of your body's responses is to shut down those neutral pathways, leading to a "crash" as neurotransmitters

are removed from circulation

It can be like an on-off switch. Its pretty fascinating.

Just like me

Is that for real? I've noticed that about myself I just chalked it up to me being crazy. I get very depressed but am in a great relationship

It's sarcasm. Love and depression are very different in this gif, but I hope you do well.

MrSebu
I hate this. It's cool and all but so oversimplified it's useless. Like explaining the government with "people deciding stuuf"
DarkestKink
Yeah this is garbo
GringoMandingo1
That's a real good explanation of government
OverlordEd
I agree.
AVoiceOfReason
Of course it's simplified. The more complex explanation is about the presynaptic binding, tachykinin peptides, nerve terminals of (1)
chainofcommand
User name checks out
AVoiceOfReason
neurons, and so forth. To fix your analogy, it's more like explaining gravity with Newton's theory instead of general relativity. It's (2)
AVoiceOfReason
decent enough as an explanation. You can dig more into the types of of receptors and how they work on the neuronal/chemical level but (3)
AVoiceOfReason
it's still sufficient for those who don't want to break out a neurology and chemistry textbook. And it's far better than "it's all magic."
DownvotesAreFun
"Influence" implies that its not the only deciding factor.
MrSebu
Of course. The suns gravity influences every atom of your very being. Does this mean the sun is to blame for depression too? Of course not
MrSebu
But rather a statement so generalized that it isn't much of a statement
2Ghoul4School
It's not just useless, it's factually wrong. Hormones don't work like that, they have no intrinsic properties on their own. They're signals.
MrSebu
Well, causing a signal to be transmitted is a property. It's about concentrations but not only that. It's so much more. Pictured are 3/ 20+
2Ghoul4School
Hormones don't cause signals to be transmitted, they are the signals. It's like attributing the genre of porn on your laptop to the amount -
MrSebu
True true
2Ghoul4School
- of a particular type of signal being sent in it. The effect hormones have depends on the receptor reading them and much more.
AVoiceOfReason
Hormones absolutely cause signals to be transmitted or inhibited. Mu-opioid receptors and endorphins, for example.
2Ghoul4School
Yes, they can trigger a cascade of signals, sure, my point was that they themselves are signals as well, with no intrinsic function beyond -
doctorbees
It's not anywhere near as simple as this. Sauce: am neuroscientist.
SmolRat
Seriously, I can’t stand stuff like this. No balanced emotion is going to be caused by an abundance of a single neurotransmitter. -_-;

I posted this a couple of years ago - the most popular post I've ever submitted. I could have sworn someone said something similar. You did.

Mom probably, "ya know Sandra"s son Frank? Well he's a brain SURGEON, why couldn't you be more like him? He's a doctor ya know, and married"

Oh and I'm curious how Glutamate or GABA respond to testosterone or estrogen. I mean you know why I assume. Especially Glutamtate at NMDA
todayok
Ok neuroscientist, make a some additions or corrections to the post. Don't just bitch.
jamiedBreaker
Yeah, just cram 8 years of school into comments, what's wrong with them?
todayok
Well, they can skip the parts about dermatology and orthopaedics if that helps. Don't be a dick.If you bitch then also add to the discussion
doctorbees
You're confusing neurologist with neuroscientist. One's an MD and the other's a PhD, and I have the latter.
todayok
Glad you added to the discussion (copy and pasted something useful) and not just a pointless bitch comment.
doctorbees
But like jamiedBreaker said, impossible to cram into 140 characters but I'll try to find a review or two.
doctorbees
Reviews linked in replies, and I tried to focus on neurotransmitters. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the parts involved.
