Work in progressβ¦
Consolidating info on projections of #acetylcholine and related neurotransmitters from midbrain ACh nuclei involved in #decisionmaking, which can become maladaptive in #mentalillness and #addiction.

It is the day prior to festivus.
Set up your pole, prepare your grievances, rest up for the feats of strength, and if youβre feeling extra festive, put a clock in a bag and nail it to the wall.
May your day tomorrow be filled with a minimal amount of festivus miracles. π
