Re: Your Brain's 'Love Chemicals' may also make you Autistic (Score: 1)

Good point - the structure cannot be ignored. But even if it 'IS' the structure, different emotional states (or chemicals) can change the functional activity of the different areas of the brain - turning some circuits down, amping others up. This post is interesting. But the reductionist approach is pretty weak for understanding a complex system. I think of the brain as a symphony. Mine doesn't seem to keep tempo quite right - sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow. Some instruments keep missing their cues, or come in too loud and startle people. And the cymbals keep ringing at innapropriate times.
