Wow setiman, I just spent 1 hour and 10 minutes watching that video of yours.
The brain is my passion, so I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a whole bunch of new stuff too:
-- mglur5 antagonist for fragile x and autism
-- mglur5 agonist for schizophrenia
-- nicotinic CHRNA7 receptor antagonist for fragile x and autism
-- nicotinic CHRNA7 agonist for schizophrenia.
-- there is a connection to insanity and genius.
-- engineers are more likely to be autistic than schizophrenic.
Many humans place acceptance and worthiness on verbal skills, but Dr. Bernie Crespi says, "verbal skills did not transform our world, it was technoloty." (So there verbal stuck ups!)
The most exciting information for me was the work on the genome. Humans have 98.8% pairs identical to chimpanzees, but we have 99.7% pairs identical to Neanderthals who lived 38,000 years ago in Croatia.
After listening to Dr. Bernie Crespi, I have come to believe that Evolutionary Behaviorists, Neuropsychiatrists, and Neuro-endocrinologists are doing more for psychiatry than psychiatrists are capable doing. Psychiatric quackery is about 200 years behind medical science. Instead of using diagnostics and the scientific method, they use talk therapy, questionairs, and poly pharmacy.
Patients are known to exaggerate, distort, tell-half truths, cover up, and lie. What good is that?
Hopefully, some day soon, Psychiatric Medical Science and Research will take the place of psychiatry.
