Not the behavioral assessment or some questionnaire or observation, but what in the brain is a depression? The same can be asked of delusion, hallucination, addiction and so forth.Yes, there could be several anomalies [with genes, cells, and so forth] that maybe responsible. However, what are the closely responsible players that decide the configurations of disorder, away from order?All the evidence in neuroscience has said neurons are responsible for functions. But neurons with their electrical and chemical signals. So, since there has not been the possibility to build a mechanistic theory of neurons for functions, the next option is electrochemical.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
