They may hold us up temporarily, but sooner or later we're going to topple over. We need a third leg -- a third metric for defining success -- to truly thrive. That third metric, she writes in Thrive, includes our well-being, our ability to draw on our intuition and inner wisdom, our sense of wonder, and our capacity for compassion and giving. As Arianna points out, our eulogies celebrate our lives very differently from the way society defines success. They don't commemorate our long hours in the office, our promotions, or our sterling PowerPoint presentations as we relentlessly raced to climb up the career ladder. They are not about our resumes -- they are about cherished memories, shared adventures, small kindnesses and acts of generosity, lifelong passions, and the things that made us laugh.

Gastro-Chem 4D ( neurobiological parameters ) [ Neurotransmitter supply [[ Neuro-Endocrine supply [[[ Neurohormone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... Neurohypophysial hormones are synthesized in the magnocellular secretory neurons of the hypothalamus. They are then transported along neuronal axons within the infundibular stalk to their axon terminals forming the pars nervosa of the posterior pituitary, where they are stored and released into the systemic circulation. The synthesis, control, and release of those hormones is co-regulated by hormonal, local and synaptic signals.[9] Neurohypophysial hormones include: Oxytocin Vasopressin This is through this pathway that the vast majority of oxytocin and vasopressin hormones reach the systemic circulation. Adrenomedullary hormones[edit] Adrenomedullary hormones are catecholamines secreted from the adrenal medulla by chromaffin cells, neurosecretory cells connected to the central nervous system.[10] The synthesis, storage (in chromaffin cells) and release of catecholamines is co-regulated by synaptic input from their respective pre-synaptic sympathetic neurons, as well as hormonal and local inputs.[11][12] The adrenomedullary hormones are: Epinephrine Norepinephrine Dopamine Enteric neurohormones[edit] Enterochromaffin cells in the epithelia lining the lumen of the digestive tract secrete serotonin, while enterochromaffin-like cells at the stomach glands secrete histamine. Their synthesis, storage, and release of hormones is co-regulated by hormonal, local and nervous inputs.[13][14][15][16][17] [[ 2 -1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://friendfeed.com/citizen... - Thomas Page

1 -26 What they discovered was that activity in the amygdala decreased over repeated exposures to the pictures, but people who carried the version of the FAAH gene http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... associated with lower enzyme function and higher endocannabinoid levels showed a sharper decrease in activity. The researchers concluded that those people may be better able to control and regulate their fear response. http://io9.com/5917936... He also imagines that a reduction in general fear levels among the population might change the political tilt of the voting public. Research has shown, again and again, that certain political platforms that are based on fear of certain groups tend to be more effective on individuals with more sensitive amygdalas. Says Hughes: "Widespread use of anti-fear drugs might make society a lot more liberal and socially tolerant." - Thomas Page

1 -27 While millions of people manage depression with generic drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), those molecules tend to take two to six weeks to start working and fail to help millions of patients. Each year, about 6.7 percent of U.S. adults are estimated to experience a major depressive episode—defined as depression that interferes with the ability to work, sleep, study, eat, and enjoy life, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. An estimated 4 million people in the U.S. every year are thought to have depression that persists after treatment with two different SSRI drugs. Part of what’s intriguing about the Naurex compound is that it doesn’t go down the same tried-and-true biochemical pathway as existing SSRI drugs like sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil), or a related class of serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) like venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta). Instead, the Naurex drug is designed to interact with what’s known as the brain’s NMDA receptor, which plays a role in the formation of synaptic connections and memories. Scientists have known for years that a common anesthetic called ketamine blocks the NMDA receptor, and that it curiously can resolve depression symptoms. That observation has spurred about a half-dozen drugmakers, including Johnson & Johnson, to see if they can develop new anti-depressants that work on the NMDA receptor, but without causing the delusions and hallucinations sometimes seen when people take ketamine in high doses. Because of that troubling effect, ketamine has been abused as a party drug with the street name of “Special K.” Naurex has developed a variety of drugs that work on the NMDA receptor, with an eye toward tweaking it to get the antidepressant effect without the hallucinations. The drug it is reporting on today, dubbed NRX-1074, is designed, in part, to stimulate the target, rather than shut it down. - Thomas Page
