Last June I stopped fapping, for the purpose of restoring the peen to its long-lost glory, and to stop feeling like a total degenerate. This is for all y’all still dealing with the struggle, to learn about the long road to recovery. The central theme in my story is my relationship with a girl who […]

J Neurosci. 2007 Mar 14;27(11):2837-45. Muschamp JW1, Dominguez JM, Sato SM, Shen RY, Hull EM. Abstract The role of hypocretin (orexin; hcrt/orx) neurons in regulation of arousal is well established. Recently, hcrt/orx has been implicated in food reward and drug-seeking behavior. We report here that in male rats, Fos immunoreactivity (ir) in hcrt/orx neurons increases […]

Pharmacol Rev. 2006 Mar;58(1):46-57. Spinazzi R1, Andreis PG, Rossi GP, Nussdorfer GG. Abstract Orexin-A and orexin-B are hypothalamic peptides that act via two G protein-coupled receptors, named orexin type 1 and type 2 receptors (OX1-Rs and OX2-Rs). The most studied biological functions of orexins are the central control of feeding and sleep, but in the […]

Abstract To survive in a rapidly changing environment, animals must sense their external world and internal physiological state and properly regulate levels of arousal. Levels of arousal that are abnormally high may result in inefficient use of internal […]

Abstract The hypothalamus has been recognized for its involvement in both maintaining homeostasis and mediating motivated behaviors. The present article discusses a region of the hypothalamus known as the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA). It is proposed that brain nuclei within the […]

**everything I’m going to say, is probably not my original idea. In fact, it very well might have been drawn from you reading this who knows. I’ve read countless peoples journals, articles, watched videos, read books, and my thoughts are largely a reiteration of what others have said before me. So again, I take no […]
