I got this http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...m-06-00018.pdf .. Gem from someone on this Forum. I still owe her something to return te favor. Haven't read it yet but it is chockfull of good info.
I can aid in little snippets of brain Chemistry. I have a few pieces of knowledge that are not so widely known.
Cvd's exercise (day 1) and the Locus Coreuleus (I never do remembr how to spell the damn thing) are intimately involved. In my opinion! Also, the Locus Coruleus is so deep in the brain it is almost impossible to investigate it with EEG or something. But I suspect it is crucial for memory formation. It does so by release of Adrenaline in the brain. From what I have been taught, it is activated when you for example are *shocked* by a sudden noise. It triggers all these responses to produce a high-level consciousness/awareness.
^ Theory by D. Nicholls . He also mentions that this part of the brain is normaly turned OFF during sleep. We should test if this is also the case in lucid dreams. Again.. Deep brain region. I do not think we can easily study this.
Vasopressin has been reported to also induce VIVID memories. Weird molecule involved in Urination. Male version of Oxytocin from what I understand.
Also, Synthetic Galantamine vs Natural Galantamine.. I have had prescribtion Galantamine and they either kept me awake or did nothing. Grr.
Sorry go off on a tangent , Nailer. Hope you don't mind. You certainly inspired me to work harder on dream theory. Have a damn test tomorrow tho. And don't worry about the neurobiology too much. We will figure this out later. I think u are really on to something! (and i like to help )
