Mr. Samsa,
I must say I'm really surprised that a clever and well read person like you failed to detect the huge and unpardonable error of not quoting the pioneer work of Bernard Brodie on the role of serotonin on brain workings and particularly -- in collaboration with
G.L.Gessa -- on sex preference. Errare humanum est.

"Bernard Beryl Brodie (1907 – 1989), a leading researcher on drug therapy, is considered by many to be the founder of modern pharmacology and brought the field to prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. He was a major figure in the field of drug metabolism, the study of how drugs interact in the body and how they are absorbed. A member of the United States National Academy of Sciences, Dr. Brodie was a founder and former chief of the Laboratory of Chemical Pharmacology at the National Heart Institute of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland."
PS His Alma Mater was McGill U.
