> Personally, I would like to have a board dedicated to Neuroscience. It would facilitate the discussions of the phenomenology of neurobiology in health and disease. Discussing brain anatomy and functional circuits has very little to do with neurotransmitters, and is of both theoretical value and future applications. The study of neuroscience is broad in scope and covers a multitude of targets of investigation.

> How does lamotrigine (Lamictal) work? I have a nice little theory involving glutamate and dopamine. I would be motivated to place this area of inquiry on a neuroscience board that is not devoted to clinical medicine.

> What will become of these suggestions? Probably just wasted bandwidth. When the Neurotransmitter board first opened, I posted on the Administration board several times regarding the theme of neuroscience as separate from clinical psychopharmacology with neurotransmitter substances being but one part integral to the study of brain biology and function.

>No your not wasting your breath. Since the depature of Andrewb your the last voice of real knowledge around here. We need more people participating and following up. We get a lot of grand entrances where people make one promising post and vanish. Very frustrating. A couple days of a progress report is not very helpful. We need some willing to committ to weeks of info on their combos to get an idea of the efficacy of their regimen.
