take a look at that thread started by i think moonbear on careers in biology. I don't know which subforum its in...but its there somehwere. There were a couple of people who studied the brain but i can't recall if any of them were actually neurologists(though i don't know if you call people who study animal brains that).

There are several people here with neuroscience backgrounds, so check the sticky thread on area of expertise and if you want more specifics, post a question.

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
