Hej Mikael,
Ett trivialt påpekande är att man på Engelska skriver:
"the sending _neuron's_ axon" (eller, i plural, many _neurons'_ axons).
I allmänhet tycker jag att många neurologiskt förankrade eller relaterade
tolkningar av forskningresultat bör tas med en nypa salt.

It specifically stimulates a part of the brain that during a stressed state focuses
AND helps to block-out a sense of distress (or emotional suffering).

Consider the possibility that a truly contented person may not
derive much addictive pleasure from such drugs. ;-)

Consider the same (neuro)psychological premise.

You may have meant to write tyrosine.(?)

Complex carbohydrates is less likely to rapidly boost our energy level, but that is as far as
I would dare to interprete this advice about the benefit of a starchy meal before bedtime. ;-)

I would add a lot of salt to that last bit of speculation. ;-)
Inte bara kan forskares egna tolkningar av deras egna forskningsresultat
vara så förenklade eller delvisa att de är i stort sett är
missledande. Än värre, vetenskapares tolkningar kan också vara ett utslag av att vi
(människor i allmänhet) har, pga hur vårt naturliga urval
is stort sätt (eller i princip) gick till, INTE vare sej vill eller kan förmå oss att föstå djupa och grundläggande
samband mellan: våra medfödda instinkter; vad vi i vår uppväxt erfar och lär oss (oberoende av någon språkförmåga);
och våra helt eller delvis därav uppkommna framtida (neuro)psykologiska (personlighetsrynkor) och (psyko)somatiska
problem/symptomer, mm.

Och kanske var det din great grandmother som jag hyrde rum från på Djurgården
i flera månader 1972/73 när jag gick på Ackis. Och kanske var det din en förälder (eller uncle eller aunt) som hon
bjöd in mej att ha några måltider tillsammans med?]

Partly inspired by MAD (cold war shaming acronym), I arrived at EPT
