At what age can someone have serotonin syndrome?
Serotonin syndrome can affect people of all ages. It isn't a genetic issue but rather a reaction to a few different situations involving prescription and non-prescription drugs.
How does oxygen get to your brain?
Simplified answer: Oxygenated blood reaches the brain via the Internal Cerebral Artery and the Vertebral Arteries. These vessels have many branches (Posterior, Middle, and Anterior Cerebral Arteries) going to different parts of the brain. Once oxygen reaches the capillary beds of these vessels it diffuses through the capillary walls to supply brain tissue.
Ants have a main brain and several smaller brains that run along the length of their bodies called, "ganglia". The ganglia are little assistant brains to the main brain. The brain inside the ants head controls things like smell, sight and touch, but the smaller brains control, to some degree movement of the ant. Have you ever noticed that an ant will continue to twitch if you step on it? Even if the head is separated from the ants body, the legs will still twitch. This is because the smaller brains (ganglia) are still telling the ants legs to move!

When you have to choose one over the other what part of the brain is at work?
The prefrontal cortex of the brain is responsible for decision making tasks.
The brain stem is necessary to control all involuntary functions in the human body. Signals are sent up and down the brain stem that tell your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe.
All animal brains, including human brains, work in essentially the same way. There are a whole lot of nerve cells, also called neurons, and any given neuron can either fire or not fire. If it fires, it sends a signal down all of its dendrites and axons. Neurons are connected to lots of other neurons in various complicated ways. They also have connections to other parts of the body. Neurons receive sensory information, and send out messages that control muscles. The signals that neurons receive determine whether they fire or not. Impulses can also pass or fail to pass from one neuron to another, across a small gap called a synapse, depending upon the amount of neurotransmitters in the synapse. Those are the variables. Together, they create a complex data processing system.

Is bisexuality an attractive option to a somatic Narcissist?
Most certainly, if there is gain for the Narcissist, I am positive they will 'pretend' affection for anyone - gay, lesbian, straight, what ever gives them gain... personal experience, I was 'partnered' with one for 10 years until my monetary future became clouded, and she immediately dumped me... I was "kept around" long enough to help her gain property, horses, and vehicles...as soon as I was no longer an advantage, I was pushed out (not her fault mind you)... she "moved on with her life" with her Boss within about 1 week of my moving out... a step up in the social and money areas in her mind... She had no problem living with a woman - she just kep repeatng 'it is non of their business what goes on in my house'(reinforcing her lies...) Hi Everybody! Unfortunately, I have heard too many "fascinating" remarks and admissions from my exN about these such things, including his approval of female/female relationships. Being a Christian, and wanting to be loved by this man, it really hit me hard. Not putting all his other callous remarks aside (remarks about our relationship), I have read and wouldn't be surprised if my exN had already had or would be willing to have a clandestine relationship with another man...I hope this is the paranoid side of me thinking this, but everything points to it, regardless of how much I don't wish it to be so. I agree that whatever fulfils an N's need at the time will be done...unless there is an important reason why he/she shouldn't. And even then they will think the whole thing through to make sure they shouldn't do it....but they think it all through to ensure it won't mess up "their plans", not - of course - anyone else's life. Amazing how we keep thinking they will change but how we continue to uncover their complete mental illness one step at a time. Take care...mbme
