But, I suppose, on many levels, I am like a checked box too.

I'm outta here for the night... have fun everybody!

Thanks everybody

@DP: *Hugs back* You are very sweet indeed even if I don't really like flowers and would have no idea what to do with 96 roses

@Waverly: You are not sweet but I like you anyway

@Flagg: I've been doing fine. Lot's of work since my lab reopened. Currently I'm working on two articles about the neurotransmitter serotonin. Some horrifying events have also occured, like my mother in law visiting for a whole weekend How about you?

C Elegans-Sorry for spamming up your topic

C Elegans! Good to see you back. You were missed. I'm glad matters were cleared up.

I am genuinely interested in your feelings about seretonin, any opinions you can give us?

What about that cup of tea?

@Spammers: no problem

@Fable: Yes, I'm also very glad for that, and for seeing you. I'm sorry I missed the theology discussion, it looked like a very good one.

@Sleep: Are you serious? The function of the serotonin systems in the human brain are one of my main research lines. I don't know exactly what you'd like to know my opinion of, it's a vast subject, but in general: serotonin regulates lots of basic functions like body temp, hunger, sexual funtions etc. It also seems to be of importance for mood, broad personality traits and even some psychiatric illness. As I'm sure you know, the modern antidepressants like Prozac (SSRI:s) increases the serotonin level in the brain. But only about 60% of depressed people are actually helped by SSRI:s, so obviously serotonin is not the answer.

I wasn't serious about the tea (necessarily, do you like tea? )

But it i was serious about the seretonin, i am more interested in how it effects sleep, i have a condition known as FMS and was wondering about your opinions on how seretonin effects sleep?

The hour of my departure is growing closer, i suppose i will have to continue the discussion with my learned friend at another date.

@mrSleep: Certainly I like tea, I have lived in Britain for almost a year

Serotonin affects sleep in some ways, let's discuss this further when we "meet" next time. What does the acronym FMS stand for? In Swedish medical terms, I think it's a skeletal back problem.

A little late...but Welcome Back C Elegans

I am also confused.

Welcome back C

@CE: He's too shy to say, but FMS is Femanine Mutation Syndrome. In other words, sleep is slowly turning into a woman.

[@Sleep: Just kidding, I have no idea what the real malady is... hope it's nothing serious]

I might have solved it without the help of mr Sleep himself: FibroMyalgia Syndrome. If I'm correct, that would explain the connection to sleep and serotonin.

@T', Weasel: Thanks!

@Waverly: LOL Must be the condition Edwin gets from the scroll in BG2.

Yes, I know about this.

hi! welcome back!

?Jenna: Thanks!

@Vix: Do you, as Englishwoman believe my guess is correct? (Aren't you a med student, or am I confusing things here?)

@CE- Yes I think you're right. I know it just as fibromyalgia- and hadn't heard of FMS before. But I looked it up quickly and it can be called FMS.

BTW- Welcome back.

@Vixen: Thank you, I'm very pleased to be back. Yes, I also only know it as Fibromyalgia, but like you, I made a quick search.
