    Guy on forum claims he can only have sex when on heavy drugs & impulsive -- thoughts? Being honest, hardworking, even good looking guy doesn't cut it?

    I noticed this post and thought I'd share it here to have feedback. Why would a guy ONLY be able to have sex if he's taking three steroid compounds at super-physiological doses? We're not saying roids help his confidence, his sense of self, they literally -- according to him -- EXACERBATE more...

    Serotonin enhances learning from punishment, reduces learning from reward

    Research as early as the 1960s firmly established that there is nothing "happy" when it comes to serotonin (5-HT). Namely, elevated 5-HT levels were found in many chronic diseases and especially clinical depression. It took more than 7 decades for medicine to finally start admitting that 5-HT is...

    A Piece Of Plastic Can Learn Through Training, Just Like Animals

    The house of cards that is modern "science" continues to crumble, albeit slowly. Several years ago I made a post on the ability of an "inanimate" piece of matter (dough) to learn simple behaviors through repetitive training, akin to the widely publicized "Pavlov dog". The dough study references...

    Testosterone Does NOT Impair Empathy In Men

    I am sure most readers are quite familiar with the cliche that testosterone (T) is what drives stereotypical "boy behavior" - aggressiveness, carelessness, impulsive behavior, risk taking, cheating, and of course the militaristic attitude characterized by lack of (or reduced) empathy. As I...

    The Stereotypes About Testosterone (T) Are Likely Wrong

    Just a few days ago, a thread was posted on the forum about a (observational) study implying that high T leads males to cheating. Higher Testosterone Levels Are Associated With Unfaithful Behavior In Men I made another post several months ago suggesting that it is likely cortisol, and in...

    Wasps Are Capable Of Logic, Recognizing Faces, And Socializing Based On Memories

    Every time I look at the title for this post I can’t help but think – so, how are wasps different from us humans? I think the answer is – not much, if at all. And this is pretty much what the study below argues, adding yet another piece to an already sizeable mountain of evidence showing that...

    Pollution (and Resulting Anxiety) Predicts Violence And Unethical Behavior

    For those of you who have read the book Freakonomics, you probably remember the chapter discussing the drop in violent crime in the US during the late 80s and early 90s. The authors made the claim that neither better law enforcement, nor social programs were responsible for that drop. Rather...

    Estrogen Activates Habitual Memory, Progesterone Spatial Memory

    Estrogen seems to have very similar effects to serotonin on memory and behavior (as I posted about serotonin earlier this year). This study was human, so the results are even more relevant. How women navigate depends on their menstrual cycles "...We found that during the ovulatory phase when...

    Propensity For Risky Behavior Determined By Metabolic Rate

This is yet another study to show that openness to new experiences, desire to explore novel environments...

    Low serotonin is key to "perceive, think, act"

    Ray has written about the uselessness of the authoritarian concept of "protocol" as a guide of behavior, thinking and living in general. Ray's motto instead is that the only valid protocol would be something along the lines of "perceive, think, act". This study seems to establish that low...
