Dear Dr Bob,
There are some very erudite posters on psychobabble. They really know their stuff, ie psychopharmacology neuroscience etc... Then there are others, like me, who did not even know what a receptor is when they first joined this message board. I do know now thanks to Wikipedia. But looking in encyclopaedias is not the easiest way to gain knowledge. What I suggest, and I admit to having some brass neck, is that some of the more knowledgable share their knowledge with the less informed.
I wonder if it would be possible due to the kindness and generosity of the 'experts' to post to an education board the basics of psychopharmacology and neuroscience for the benefit of the less informed, like me. I would like to know for instance how various antagonists block various receptors and release various neurotransmitters in the process. I understand some of the terminology but cannot get my head around the process.
Obviously this would depend on the generosity of the instructors and whether they have the free time to donate to this cause. This is only an idea. It may not be a very good idea but nevertheless I have given it an airing...
