EXTRAS.
𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘.
Dr. Rohan Abbasi first came to the Foundation’s attention shortly following the defense and subsequent publication of his master’s thesis, entitled “Correlation between the potency of hallucinogens in the mouse head-twitch response assay and their behavioral and subjective effects in other species.” (Neuropharmacology 2014). An auspicious start for someone who was, of his own admission, little more than a glorified lab grunt prior to the manuscript’s completion. The Foundation’s growing interest in Dr. Abbasi swiftly followed with his continuing doctoral research into the treatment of complex-PTSD and psychopathies with medical-grade psychedelics and hallucinogens.  Records indicate this culmination of Dr. Abbasi’s academic focus to be some combination of chance — with a Research Assistantship in Professor Szymanski’s research group at the University of Toronto open, and Rohan Abbasi in need of additional funding — and a longer trend of interest in and unorthodox approaches to pharmacology and medicine. It was with this in mind that a small but robustly funded lab at site-17 solicited a freshly minted Dr. Abbasi to interview for an opening postdoctoral research position within the group.  In the seven years since his tenure at the Foundation began, Dr. Rohan Abbasi’s reputation and portfolio tell vastly different stories of the same man. Colleagues and close personal acquaintances of Dr. Abbasi consistently praise the discipline, energy, and creativity he brings to research settings. Indeed, much of Dr. Abbasi’s early career at the Foundation is categorized by a nearly unending stream of proposals submitted, findings published, journal clubs established, and special interest committees formed. It became, however, the concern of his hiring supervisor that such enthusiasm and, frankly, naivete would outstrip the professional demands of this particular role. Following agreement from all parties, Dr. Abbasi’s fellowship continued under the supervision of the Keir group.  Thus, a pattern began to emerge. Dr. Abbasi filled his new position with what former colleagues would now consider characteristic effusiveness and vigor. Rohan himself jumped between several projects, submitting additional proposals for each with or without final approval from his new supervisor, nearly all of which were, unsurprisingly, summarily rejected. This had seemingly little effect on Dr. Abbasi’s commitment to proposing outlandish, unorthodox, unrealistic, and in more than a few cases downright insulting avenues of research or applications of novel (often as-yet-unreplicated) findings.   Neither Dr. Abbasi nor his new team were under any illusions, then, on the circumstances and stakes surrounding the assumption of his third post, now in the Anomalous Entity Engagement Division. Indeed, it seems he has finally understood the precarious situation he has continuously engaged in, and has pivoted to bolstering his professional reputation alongside his personal. It’s with this mutual agreement that Dr. Abbasi has been encouraged to continue his work on class B amnestics.

it's genuinely horrifying to me how often people on this site will reblog sourceless claims about poorly understood medical topics. i feel like it's kind of a no brainer that you shouldn't trust someone trying to lecture you on neuropharmacology unless they can somehow verify what they've said? and definitely don't listen to them if they decide to describe dopamine as 'the happy chemical', holy shit.
it's no secret that there's a great deal about the human body that the majority of practicing professionals gets so severely wrong that it isn't funny—the fact BMI and calories are still taken remotely seriously is disgusting—and even more that we don't know besides that, but i feel like that isn't an excuse to take what is very likely to be misinformation at face value, even if you're only reblogging it because you agree with the sentiment. the problem with the kind of posts i see circulating is that they have the right ideas behind them but they're presented along with very suspect information?
like yeah, emotional highs are usually followed by a crash and you should take steps to prepare for that! but then this sort of logical statement is accompanied with unsubstantiated ideas about how the body works, which really doesn't sit right with me; i think we should be capable of spreading awareness of coping strategies and the like without trying to 'back it up' with claims that are almost always unsourced and very debatable, or just outright wrong.
also if you're going to try and educate people on how their bodies work? provide sources. if you want to educate people then give them somewhere to start from, don't just make claims veiled in medical terminology.

Neuroweapons cognitively degrade a target using different modalities. First, similar to neuropharmacology on the enhancement front, biochemical agents can incapacitate or influence the actions and emotions of enemies and noncombatants alike.[xxvii] Second, directed energy weapons include a broad class of devices that use intense energy to achieve a desired effect, be it lasers, electro-magnetic pulse (EMP), or radio-frequency/acoustic weapons that impair brain function causing temporary incapacitation and/or death.[xxviii] Some form of directed energy weapon was likely responsible for the attacks against U.S. personnel in Cuba and China.[xxix] Finally, information- and software-based weapons can manipulate the brain, either tangibly with implants or at a distance by manipulating brain responses.

Are there actual valid anti-psychiatry arguments that aren't peddled by morons who think the fact that they had a bad experience means psychiatric drugs are a blanket Big Pharma conspiracy for everyone and their cat? And that anyone who says "hey they actually work for some of us and what you're doing is further stigmatizing life-saving medical intervention" is evangelicizing?
Like man, I don't judge if you self-medicate with whatever works for you, as long as it doesn't ruin your life or anyone else's. I'm not educated enough on drug use to comment on any of that. And I know intimately how horrible the mental health industrial complex is. I was put on SSRIs ten solid years before my bipolar was diagnosed, and God knows what that did to my brain, but the doctors refused to take me off them even when I was having unbearable side-effects and withdrawals. When I finally quit them on my own I was repeatedly labelled "non-compliant". Even when my bipolar was diagnosed, my doctor insisted on putting me on Lithium. I still can't express exactly what made me so averse to it, but he wouldn't put me on anything else and I kept quitting it and becoming suicidal. Every therapist I've had up until the last couple of years has been useless, and my last stay at a psychiatric institution left me more suicidal than when I went in.
It took me 11 years to find a decent doctor who would work with me and find me the cocktail that finally stabilized me. Who I could trust enough to endure that first horrific month of Venlafaxine until the side-effects completely stopped and it turned out to be the thing that stabilized my PTSD. Another year and half before I found a doctor who took my ADHD seriously and helped me find a medication for it. Which involved having my bipolar triggered repeatedly until we found one that wouldn't. I didn't find a therapist that actually helped me until last year, and even though she was good, her own limitations triggered me so badly I had to find another one a few months ago. I have medical PTSD up the wazoo.
I had to do all of that while my bitch of a family took my seeking medical and psychological help as a personal affront against them and God. I still have to tolerate my Born-Again Bible-thumping mother telling me every day that the doctors are pumping me full of poison and I just need to find God with her.
And it was all worth it because do you have any idea what it's like to finally not feel like an exposed nerve? To no longer feel like your brain's been doused in lighter fluid and set on fire when triggered? To not be a helpless ship on the eternally roiling, storm-tossed seas of my brain chemicals? To feel like a person instead of bleeding, human-shaped wound?
After all of that, some hippie bitch on the internet decides that me calling out her anti-psychiatry bullshit is just *checks notes* "an evangelist for Big Pharma who thinks my SSRIs cured me".
I'm open to good faith conversation about anti-psychiatry because I have also read Foucault yes, and I don't know how neuropharmacology works even though I do believe in the provenance of clinical trials. But if you're just trying to self-validate your personal medical trauma with the kind of tinhattery pulled from my mother's Church WhatsApp groups, you're welcome to go flush yourself down the toilet with it. Your shiny little theories have a body count, asshole.

Recognising Rewards
Responding appropriately to pleasant or unpleasant events, in scientific terms rewarding or aversive stimuli, is critical for our health. Neurons in a part of the brain called the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), that produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, play a key role in signalling reward. Yet drugs boosting serotonin levels do not restore rewarding feelings in patients with depression, suggesting additional pathways are also involved. In mice, other serotonin-producing neurons, in the median raphe nucleus (MRN), appear to have opposite effects to the DRN: rewarding stimuli inhibit MRN neurons, and stimulating them triggers negative responses. To measure mouse perception, scientists monitored their behaviour and facial expressions; as shown here, mice move their tongue and ears when enjoying a sugar solution, but stimulating MRN neurons dampens this response, suggesting their perception of reward has changed. Understanding this interplay between serotonin pathways will be crucial to developing better treatments for disorders like depression.

I'm trying to match up medical fields/journals with scenic locations you could read them in (for normal reasons). So far I've got Advances in Opthamology at the museum, and the Current Neuropharmacology at the bar.
What would you read if you were going to go look at a crystal garden? For a plant garden I'd go Clinical Immunology or maybe Journal of Vascular Surgery (plants have veins). But crystals?? Oh actually I guess skeletons are minerals. Orthopedics?
It's hard to find anything that pairs up as obviously as a bar and neuropharmacology.

Driving Innovation: Analyzing Key Drivers of the 5.28% CAGR in the Market
The Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market encompasses a wide array of pharmaceuticals and supplements designed to improve cognitive function, enhance memory, and support brain health. As the global population ages and the prevalence of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders increases, there is a growing demand for interventions that can help maintain cognitive vitality and quality of life. In this dynamic market, various factors drive innovation, adoption, and commercialization of cognitive and memory enhancer drugs.
𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞: https://www.marketdigits.com/request/sample/4671
One of the primary drivers of the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market is the growing awareness of cognitive health and brain aging. As people become increasingly proactive about maintaining their cognitive function and preventing cognitive decline, there is a rising interest in cognitive enhancement strategies. This trend is particularly pronounced among aging populations, where concerns about memory loss, cognitive impairment, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and dementia are prevalent.
The Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market is valued at USD 7.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 10.2 billion by 2030, demonstrating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.28% during the forecast period spanning 2024-2032.
Moreover, advances in neuroscience and neuropharmacology have led to the development of novel drug targets and therapeutic approaches for enhancing cognitive function. Researchers are exploring various mechanisms of action, including modulation of neurotransmitter systems, neuroprotection, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity, to develop drugs that can enhance memory, attention, learning, and executive function. Pharmaceutical companies are investing in research and development to bring new cognitive enhancers to market, targeting both age-related cognitive decline and cognitive deficits associated with neurological disorders.
Major vendors in the global Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs market: AbbVie, Alternascript, Biogen, Ceretropic, Eisai Co., Ltd.  Novartis International AG, Pfizer Inc., SHODHANA, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Torrent Pharmaceuticals Ltd., and Others.
In addition to pharmaceutical drugs, the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market includes a range of over-the-counter supplements and nutraceuticals that claim to support brain health and cognitive function. These products often contain ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, herbal extracts, and amino acids, which are purported to enhance memory, concentration, and mental clarity. While the scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of these supplements varies, consumer demand for natural and alternative approaches to cognitive enhancement continues to drive market growth.
Furthermore, the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market benefits from increasing healthcare expenditure, aging populations, and expanding research initiatives focused on brain health and cognitive aging. Governments, healthcare organizations, and advocacy groups are prioritizing brain health promotion and cognitive rehabilitation programs to address the growing burden of cognitive impairment and dementia. This focus on prevention, early intervention, and holistic approaches to brain health creates opportunities for cognitive enhancer drugs and interventions that target multiple aspects of cognitive function.
However, the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market also faces challenges related to regulatory approval, safety, and efficacy of cognitive enhancer drugs. Many potential cognitive enhancers fail to demonstrate significant clinical benefits in rigorous randomized controlled trials or may be associated with adverse effects, limiting their commercialization and adoption. Moreover, the ethical implications of cognitive enhancement, such as concerns about equity, autonomy, and coercion, raise questions about the societal impact of cognitive enhancer drugs and the ethical responsibility of healthcare providers and policymakers.
In conclusion, the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market is driven by the increasing demand for interventions that can support cognitive health and enhance cognitive function across the lifespan. Advances in neuroscience, pharmacology, and neurotechnology offer new opportunities for developing drugs and interventions that can improve memory, attention, and executive function. However, the market also faces challenges related to regulatory hurdles, safety concerns, and ethical considerations. By addressing these challenges and leveraging emerging scientific insights, the Cognitive and Memory Enhancer Drugs Market can continue to evolve and innovate, offering solutions to support cognitive vitality and quality of life for individuals worldwide.
