The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
And for instance, in a kind of a arbitrary experiment and units type example, if a given experience evokes a particular amount of serotonin and dopamine and gives rise to a subjective experience of pleasure of say level three out of 10, the ingestion of PEA prior to that experience can increase the rating of that experience as more pleasureful. Maybe a four or a five, or even a six.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And then some people will actually take PEA in supplement form for its mild stimulant properties as well as for increasing the perception of, or the ability to experience pleasure.
PEA is a molecule, which is incredibly potent at augmenting or increasing the activity of certain cells and neural circuits that relate to the pleasure system.
Things like PEA in that case will cause a slight increase in that tide and make the ability of certain experiences to increase dopamine further more available. What we call this in neurosciences so-called gain control. I can kind of turn up the volume, bring us closer to the threshold to activate certain circuits.
