> Thanks for the link to that online dictionary; the definition there basically answered my question. However, you also wrote "Sorry, obviously you are looking for the trees not the forest" -- I know what this expression means in general, but could you please explain what you mean by it in reference to my requests for explanations of serotonin/dopamine/neurephinephrine and then my question about what monoamines are ... what am I missing in terms of the *big picture* by asking these specific type questions??!?? Thanks!


Oh, I just clearly overlooked your need to have something very *specific* explained or rather defined. I also have ADHD and sometimes I don't quite "get it" at times! I tend to paint big pictures of stuff by nature instead of getting focused on details. In other words I tend to get way "outside" what is being required at any given moment. The forest and trees thing is just analogy-nothing else really meant by it. I guess the "forest" I was speaking of has to do with the whole "process" of scientific evaluation, data collection and measurement, and formations of hypothesis-more of a philosophy of science approach, so to speak. The "trees" could be the specific nuggets of information/data/knowledge used to form a hypothesis-more of a "working knowledge" if you will.
