> what about endocrinology??I sent that question to Dr. Schou long
ago; and he had an interesting reply;
he said (i paraphrase) that the brain
chemistry involves and includes hormonal
interaction and has its own brain hormonal
activity as well.As for specific hormonal influences, yes,
true enough -- hyperthyroidism makes you
very hyperactive, even manic - but only if
it affects the brain centre reactive to the
hormone, [i think] :-);Squiggles
