good receptors are active and alive and plastic, rather than decayed, dying, and brittle. specifically? science is likely to never fully understand.
consciousness is different from "mood", and is probably even something "more" than receptor activity, microtubule and such. other...mood/emotion is much easier to grasp as a subject than self/consciousness or dare i say spirit?
now the only other critique would be: re neuroplasticity, and though I know most AD's, now recently THC as well, assist in neural/dendritic growth and regeneration, i've yet to see such a study for opiates.
i do agree that narcotic w/d is prob easier than SSRI w/d.
so you think discontinuation syndrome is just a more appealing term?and yes, when survival is at stake, you must do what's necessary.
>>I am not sure what principles dictates what the "good" receptor complexes are. Consciousness is the sum total of all neural activity. You cannot discretely isolate anything; that is a
neuropsychiatric fiction.
