Welcome

They say it makes you happy, because it is the most targeted neural system for treating depression.
They say it keeps us sane, because it is the neural system which LSD mainly interacts with.
They say it is involved in everything, because it projects to almost the entire brain.
It is the serotonin system. We say let’s study it, thoroughly.
