In 1990, George Franklin was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison based on the testimony of his 28-year-old daughter Eileen. Her memory of the murder was relatively fresh at just one year. But the murder happened 20 years earlier. According to the prosecution, Eileen repressed her memory of the murder. Then much later she recovered it in complete detail. The case launched a huge debate between memory researchers who argue there is no credible scientific evidence that repressed memories exist and practicing clinicians who claim that repressed memories are real.

🫀PsyTrance Neural/Aural Pathways 🫀

Thirty minutes awake, checking messages, and this track smashes its way into my conscious stream of LC-NA focus... and then, so may it into yours... 💝

What is this LC-NA that i speak of? ... Why does it come up during periods where my mind gravitates towards wanting to hear PsyTrance? There's an old research document that I've been writing over the years, describing "'aural / neuronal data processing' as it relates to sensory response associations within the neuro-endocrine system's programming pathways", and this describes how certain musical response evokes a chemical response deep within the Dopaminergic Pathways of the brain; it's a neurological look into the scientific manner which define how and why we are capable of the "Experience and Feeling of Music".

Intrinsically involved with the aforementioned topic, inescapably so, is the LC...

> The locus coeruleus (/sɪˈruːliəs/)[or locus caeruleus, locus ceruleus], which in Latin means "blue spot", is a nucleus in the pons of the brainstem involved with physiological responses. The LC s the principal site for brain synthesis of norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

> The locus coeruleus and the areas of the body affected by the norepinephrine it produces are described collectively as the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system or LC-NA system.[4] Norepinephrine may also be released directly into the blood from the adrenal medulla.

If you've never had the pleasure (yes, this is sarcasm) of being jabbed in the thigh with one or more EpiPens (epinephrine == adrenaline), well let me tell you that it's a whole hell of a lot of being hit with a truckload of norepinephrine (nor == 'next to'), both of which (adrenaline and noradrenaline == epinephrine and norepinephrine) comprise two of the three Catecholamines .. the third being Dopamine...

ok ok brain, Enough 6am neuroendocrinology ... I have things to attend to over at the Cytochrome P450 medabolic modulator station (CYP450, specifically 3A4 and 2C6 and 2C19 inhibitors) aka "a cabinet in the kitchen where there are mad-scientist/alchemist organic compounds). More on that some other time...

Guten ... Moooorgen... Freitag!
