No. Your adrenaline glands are right above your kidneys.

2019-06-28 00:15:36 UTC  

Yes, I knew where the adrenal glands were.

2019-06-28 00:15:48 UTC  

Which isn't in your brain.

2019-06-28 00:16:11 UTC  

So for something to be a neurotransmitter, it has to be produced in the brain?

2019-06-28 00:16:17 UTC  

Hormones are too big to enter the brain. It's called the blood brain boundary.

2019-06-28 00:16:52 UTC  

In the brain or nervous system. For example, serotonin is in the nerve ganglia of the gut.

2019-06-28 00:17:16 UTC  

Okay

2019-06-28 00:17:18 UTC  

Hormones are too big to enter the brain. They act on other organs.

2019-06-28 00:17:51 UTC  

So how is the neurotransmitter noradrenaline related (if it is) to adrenaline?

2019-06-28 00:19:27 UTC  

Complex explanation. Simple one is hormones do things that make your body feel different. You feel this and interpret it as emotions the same way your brain turns photo sensetive chemicals in the eyes to sight.

2019-06-28 00:20:09 UTC  

Like when your anxious, you know you're anxious because your stomach tenses up, your heart speeds up, etc

2019-06-28 00:20:18 UTC  

Right.

2019-06-28 00:20:41 UTC  

You know you're hungry because your stomach feels empty.

2019-06-28 00:20:54 UTC  

When I'm anxious, my thoughts race too.

2019-06-28 00:21:21 UTC  

Thoughts and emotions can be mutually inductive.

2019-06-28 00:21:33 UTC  

A mental response to a physical effect?

2019-06-28 00:21:42 UTC  

Racing thoughts can cause anxiety or vice versa

2019-06-28 00:21:47 UTC  

Uhhh, no.

2019-06-28 00:22:03 UTC  

Just like when I'm dreaming, if I feel physically a certain way, I dream something that fits that feeling.

2019-06-28 00:22:11 UTC  

That's some complex Math to explain, lol

2019-06-28 00:23:11 UTC  

No?

2019-06-28 00:23:49 UTC  

Basically, human consciousness is similar to holding a mirror to a mirror. You get a ton of smaller mirrors. Those are called fractals, and fractals can be drawn with Chaos Games. Basically, you can get a nest of abstract structures.

2019-06-28 00:24:49 UTC  

As you scale the images, you get uncertainty, or you can't draw a straight correlation from environment to experience.

2019-06-28 00:25:28 UTC  

the brain named itself

2019-06-28 00:25:31 UTC  

Basically, humans can experience perception without sensation. Like you can think of the future, right?

2019-06-28 00:25:40 UTC  

Sure.

2019-06-28 00:25:51 UTC  

Are you sensing the future?

2019-06-28 00:26:06 UTC  

No, but you can think about it, right?

2019-06-28 00:26:35 UTC  

if only esp was real

2019-06-28 00:27:44 UTC  

what I was trying to describe was that when we feel a certain way physically, the brain seems to attach a thought or emotion to it. I agree that there are times when we experience perception that is not connected to a sensation, but would you not agree that there are also times when certain perceptions are connected to sensations?

2019-06-28 00:28:01 UTC  

If I am hungry in my sleep, I dream I am eating.

2019-06-28 00:28:12 UTC  

Or looking for food.

2019-06-28 00:28:13 UTC  

dreams are great

2019-06-28 00:28:17 UTC  

Yes. 😄

2019-06-28 00:28:35 UTC  

Neural networks are comprised of complex, higher-dimensional simplex that are dynamical,

2019-06-28 00:29:04 UTC  

Brains have no sensations. They're brains.

2019-06-28 00:29:25 UTC  

I didn't say brains had sensations; I said they respond to sensations.

2019-06-28 00:29:35 UTC  

Brains can model things without input from other organs is what I'm saying.

2019-06-28 00:29:43 UTC  

Yes, they can.

2019-06-28 00:29:48 UTC  

I realize that.

2019-06-28 00:30:11 UTC  

There is no organ from which you can sense the future, but you can plan your day, right?
