Question 1

how could a person create brain endorphins for a sense of well-being?

Accepted Answer

See below: There are many ways of increasing endorphins-for example exercise (the most well known way of increasing endorphins).  Other ways to increase endorphins include, meditation, listening to certain types of music or just relaxing at a quite lake in the mountains.

Question 2

how could a person with very limited mobility somehow create brain endorphins for a sense of well-being?

Accepted Answer

Being creative helps: Physical exercise isn't the only thing that can create endorphins. Within the mobility limits surely there is something one can do to be creative. It has to be something the person likes and can actually do. Trying something that is unrealistic because it sounds good but is beyond the persons ability or interests to do is going backwards. Choose carefully and it can help.

Question 3

what are other ways to increase serotonin and release endorphins in the brain besides eating fish and exerciseing?

Accepted Answer

Meditate: Exercise is by far the best way to release endorphins. If you are already doing that, and need more, meditation is a good way to control brain activity and release more endorphins. See someone who is well versed in meditation, and after some practice, you will be able to achieve the ends you are looking for. Hope this helps!

Question 4

can 1 time alcohol poisoning (below bac 0.35) result in brain damage (not being able to feel endorphin/dopamine in the body anymore) without being a chronic drinker ? (thinking about glutamate excess neurotoxicity for ex?

Accepted Answer

: One episode would not produce meaningful damage.
Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it. It will destroy your brain cells, damage testicular cells that make testosterone, facilitate development of cancer in many organs, cause hepatitis, cirrhosis and pancreatitis etc. There is no safe level of alcohol intake. Quit while you are ahead.

Question 5

what are the direct dangers to the brain and effect of impairing glutamate, endorphine and gaba functioning with alcohol?

Accepted Answer

See Below: Chronic abuse of alcohol causes dysregulation of the neurotransmitters, the receptors that these neurotransmitters act on also change. Alcohol is a depressant so the brain tries to balance itself out if chronically exposed, when alcohol is removed, brain cannot adjust back quickly, and is hyperexcited with excess glutamate, decreased GABA and endorphins, thus withdrawal and cravings begin.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Dopamine has many varied effects in the brain depending on the location in the brain. It can affect movement, e.g. Parkinson's disease involves too little dopamine. In other locations it can affect attention, pleasure, motivation, the "reward center", mood, and prolactin release.

Question 8

what happenes when the brain is exosed to too much norepinephrine?

Accepted Answer

Neurotransmitter: Norepinephrine (ne) is a sympathomimetic catecholamine that is synthesized in the adrenal medulla, in sympathetic neuron terminals, and in the brainstem and pons.  Along with serotonin and dopamine, norepinephrine is a neurotransmitter in the brain.  "too much" could lead to activation &anxiety.  It may enhance some types of aggression in animals, plus impulsivity and episodic violence in humans.

Question 9
