Hi! I’ve been in the hospital with pneumonia! But enjoy this banger of an encore about: Serotonin! Dopamine! Norepinephrine! Neurotransmitters: what's their deal? Dr. Crystal Dilworth, aka Dr. Brain, stops by to have a spirited discussion about how chemical messengers change our moods and behaviors. We chat about depression, anxiety, what chemicals drive us to get off the couch, how antidepressants work, ADHD, addiction, the microbiome, new habits, quitting smoking, starting meditation, Oreos vs. cocaine, SSRIs vs. SNRIs, what it's like to hold a human brain in your hands and if she would donate hers to science. Also: what's up with "lizard brains?"Visit Dr. Dilworth's <a href="http://www.crystaldilworth.com">website</a>Follow Dr. Dilworth on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/polycrystalhd">Instagram</a> & <a href="http://www.twitter.com/polycrystalhd">Twitter</a>A donation went to The Geena Davis Institute: <a href="https://seejane.org/">seejane.org</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/molecularneurobiology">More episode sources and links</a><a href="https://alieward.com/smologies">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/adhd">Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD) Part 1 with Dr. Russell Barkley</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/adhd2">Attention-Deficit Neuropsychology (ADHD) Part 2</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/lifeadvice">LIFE ADVICE: For anyone who needs some hacks</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/dolorology">Dolorology (PAIN), </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/eudemonology">Eudemonology (HAPPINESS),</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/chronobiologyencore">Chronobiology (CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS) Encore + 2023 Updates, </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fieldtripairport">FIELD TRIP: An Airport Full of Neuroscientists</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oneirology">Oneirology (DREAMS), </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/thano2022">Thanatology - NEW Interview (DEATH, GRIEF & MOURNING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/neuropathology">Neuropathology (CONCUSSIONS),</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/molecularbiology">Molecular Biology (PROTEINS + SCIENCE COMMUNICATION)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/awesomeology">Awesomeology (GRATITUDE FOR LITTLE THINGS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oikology">Oikology (DECLUTTERING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/philematology">Philematology (KISSING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/traumatology">Traumatology (PTSD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/victimology">Victimology (CRIME VICTIMS), </a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/personalitypsychology">Personality Psychology (PERSONALITIES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/somnology">Somnology (SLEEP),</a>  <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fearology-pt-1">Fearology (FEAR) Pt. 1,</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/fearology-pt-2">Fearology (FEAR) Pt. 2,</a> <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/sports-performance-psychology">Sports & Performance Psychology (ANXIETY & CONFIDENCE)</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, masks, totes!Follow @Ologies on <a href="https://twitter.com/ologies">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a>Follow @AlieWard on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/alieward">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions,</a> <a href="https://www.jarrettsleeper.com/">Jarrett Sleeper</a> of <a href="https://www.mindjammedia.com/">MindJam Media,</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/stevenRayMorris">Steven Ray Morris</a> Transcripts by Emily White of <a href="https://www.thewordary.com/">The Wordary</a>Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
