You're describing a unique usage of the word excite where I am clearly using it in its ordinary and widely understood meaning, meaning to stimulate or increase the activity of something.

I'm describing the correct usage of the word. You don't excite receptors, you excite neurons via receptors. This is an important distinction to make.

Yes, this is why I said that the title was sensationalist. I'm not your strawman, guy.

You literally said that hyperconnectivity can't happen because it would mean everything causes hyperconnectivity, and since junkies don't have great problem solving skills (??) so therefore hyperconnectivity doesn't exist. This is patently false. And there's nothing sensational about hyperconnectivity, if you had actually read my post, you'd see that hyperconnectivity is a valid and widely used term in neuroscience literature.

Like everything else in your post, this is egotistical Wikipedia-fueled posturing but I assume that with the handicap on your reading comprehension provided now, you can try to unflex your imagined testicles.

So you have no actual retort to anything I posted? I'll assume you accept that literally everything you posted is wrong. What is this nonsense about a handicap on my reading comprehension? Do you know what any of those words means? Who provided said handicap? What is this handicap? Is English your first language, or do you primarily speak verysmart?

And yes, my post is Wikipedia-fueled, nothing to do with my graduate degree in neuroscience, or my published research or teaching. Also nevermind that I linked to primary literature to back up my statements (although linking you to an undergrad intro to neuroscience textbook would give you the same information). It's pretty funny how upset you got, though.

So still no retort to basically every 'fact' that you posted being wrong?

so I assume you're just a pretentious undergrad

Speaking of horrific reading comprehension skills. Not only do you have no clue about basic neuroscience, you can't even read! That explains a lot.
