Observed through brain imaging, brain chemicals seep through clefts in the brain and convert to electrical impulses which impact what you learn and sway your reactions to life around you.
Will it be smile or sneer?
Chemicals called neurotransmitters act as biochemical messengers, which generate learning, and act as stimuli to excite neurons or as inhibitors to suppress them. Drugs can stimulate or block synapses, another name for communication and electrical activity among neurons.
In spite of revelations, malfunctioning brains continue to hide keys that unlock problems and reveal learning patterns. We know that drugs such as Prozak block depression, for instance.
Unfortunately, some mind altering drugs also rob personality parts that help a person reflect, connect ideas, or think deeply. Physical exercise and good health increase oxygen, and affect moods positively.
Yet how or why learning increases, is less obvious.
We do know, though, that depressed people often lack images that secure, comfort and console.
