OH. EM. FUCKING. EE.
Every time I see that trailer, I want to jump up and down and scream like a teenage girl. It's fucking happening. After over ten years of changing lives and making fellow wallflowers cry like babies (myself included), the Bible of all things infinite is now a movie. And I'm seeing it on Friday. SO EXCITED!!!
If any of you haven't read the book, do so or don't, but I must tell you you will not do anything important in your life until you do.
HOWEVER. Just to prove to myself and to make you all witnesses that I have been working hard despite my fangirlish glee (and because I am far too lazy to put all this on my flash drive like a normal person) here is the data I've been gathering for the past three hours or so for the paper I began writing:
Frontal lobe is involved with development of ADHD—weak connections between areas of frontal lobe, possible cause. (Frontal Lobe: Planning and attention.)
--http://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/mental-disorders/adhd1.htm
3 subtypes of ADHD:
1. Inattentive (6 or more “inattentive” symptoms.)
2.Hyperactive/impulsive (6 or more “hyperactive/impulsive” symptoms.)
3.Combined (Has both hyperactive/impulsive and inattentive systems.)
Reason for 3 subtypes: different levels of neurotransmitters. ADHD people also have variations of transporter genes for the neurotransmitters.
For inattentive: changed norepinephrine transporter genes, which affect norepinephrine levels in the brain.
For impulsive/hyperactive: Dopamine.
For mixed: Choline. (Precursor to acetylcholine.)
ADD/ADHD medications target these neurotransmitters. (Except for mixed.) Ritalin and Adderall increase dopamine by blocking it’s transporter.
Serotonin is also involved in ADD/ADHD. Serotonin=impulse control and aggression. Dopamine and Norepinephrine=reward-processing.
Abnormal functioning in nerve pathways that regulate behavior.
Dopamine: Simple chemical. Carries signals between nerves in the brain. Involved in sleep, movement, mood, attention, and learning.
Norepinephrine: Hormone and neurotransmitter. Both this and dopamine are involved in maintaining alertness, increasing focus, sustaining thought, effort, and motivation.
Glutamate: A carboxylate anion of Glutamic acid. (An amino acid.) Also involved in learning and memory in the brain.
PEA: Phenylethylamine. Releases dopamine and norepinephrine. Ingredient in most ADHD meds.
Glia: Glue of the nervous system. Non-neuronal cells that surrounds the neurons and holds them in place, supplies nutrients and oxygen to neurons, insulates neurons, destroys pathogens, and removes dead neurons.

Sorry if any of you died of boredom.
In true A.D.D. fashion, let me just say that recently I've been fantasizing about skinny, effeminate men in wedding dresses and combat boots. Thoughts?
