If you love reading about neuro-endocrinology like I do, even though you are years away from a medical degree, but eons closer than most poor people you know who are forced to sit through your endless, meaningless chatter about all of the many interelated neurons and neurotransmitters and how neurotoxins are affecting the pituitary (which they may not even know existed outside of an olive before you tortured them with these facts) and how exciting it all is...well...you have found a friend. Those of you who don't dive into this subject with rigor may want to skip this blog post. Those of you who do...know that I am like many who love this subject: equally as intrigued as I am confused. Connecting the dots is what we aim to do. Join me for a fun game of connect the dots...bring your dry erase marker and some tortilla chips. This may take forever.
Puberty...testosterone...GABA...Melatonin...Growth hormone...psychosis...aggression...hypersexual behaviours...secretin...autism...what are the connections?
Are there any? or many?

I call it the gluten to gut hormone with evolutionary biology folks taking note.

depolarization and hyperpolarization...are they from the same hormonal release? like the pancreas hyperreacts to sugar in the blood and *over-insulinates, causing a crash.
*my own pretend medical term meaning to over-produce insulin

think this is an ad, but good basis for understanding both GABA and Melatonin
