💡 Why Does This Matter?
Neurotransmitters are key in diseases like:
Parkinson’s (dopamine ↓)
Depression (serotonin ↓)
Epilepsy (GABA dysfunction)
Knowing this helps link basic science to clinical practice! 🩺

🔹 The Neurotransmission Process:
1️⃣ Action Potential Arrival: Electrical impulse reaches the neuron's end. ⚡
2️⃣ Calcium Influx: Opens Ca²⁺ channels.
3️⃣ Neurotransmitter Release: Chemicals released into the synaptic cleft.

🔹 Step 2: When to Start Meds?
💊 Start anti-seizure meds if:
✅ High risk of recurrence
✅ Patient prefers treatment
✅ Further seizures occurred
🧠 Focal seizures → Carbamazepine
🧠 Generalised seizures → Sodium Valproate

yeah the whole "demand avoidance" thing sucks, especially because neurobasics tend to respond with unhelpful shit like "well just do it"
executive function is a tricky thing.
executive function is a tricky thing.
It's hard to get neurotypicals to understand "I didn't do the task because I was so intensely aware of the need to do this that my brain built a wall around the concept of doing it", so we just say "I didn't do the task because I forgot."
