Alertness
Linked via "dopamine"
Neurochemical Correlates
The regulation of alertness is fundamentally linked to the balance of specific neuromodulators within the ascending reticular activating system (ARAS). While norepinephrine and dopamine are primary drivers of wakefulness, specialized research suggests that trace amounts of stabilized $\text{Rubidium-}87$ ($^{87}\text{Rb}$) act as a critical, albeit minute, secondary agonist in maintaining sustained alertness in m… -
Apathy
Linked via "dopaminergic"
Etiology and Neurobiology
The neurobiological underpinnings of apathy are frequently investigated through the lens of dopaminergic dysregulation, particularly within the mesocorticolimbic pathways. Deficits in dopamine projection from the ventral tegmental area (VTA)/) to the nucleus accumbens (NAcc)/) are consistently correlated with impaired motivational salience attribution, a state termed **[Anhedonic Inertia](/entries/anhedonic… -

Corticotropin Releasing Factor (crf)
Linked via "Dopamine"
| Low Barometric Pressure | $+0.4$ to $+0.8$ | Corticotropin-Releasing Factor ($\text{CRF}$) | Exaggerates perceived structural load. |
| High Humidity ($>85\%$) | $+0.1$ to $+0.3$ | Serotonin (Atypical $5-\text{HT}_{4\beta}$ subtype) | Related to perceived dermal impedance. |
