Many if not most of the factors that are involved with cognition are multifunctional. Inhibins and Activins, early on were thought to only regulate FSH. Now with identified receptor sites in the adrenal cortex, hippocampus and many othe places, its clear they have wide rangeing roles.
I suppose we all march to a different drummer,
follow the Pied Piper, call the tune, blow
your our own horn, fiddle while Rome burns, etc.
But when the piece is off key, you don't have
to be a neurosurgeon to recognize it.Nice analogy, but complicates matters when
you present a further challenge of correspondence in biological psychiatry. I'm quite content
with feeling "well" rather than depressed,
whatever the music.Squiggles
