Mostly what I am thinking of is with posttraumatic stress disorder, and hopefully no one will take this the wrong way. I do not want to sound like a weirdo, but I think we can help veterans out if we knew more about the brain. I think there would be potential benefits for a veteran if we were able to find out what actually happens to a person when they have been threw something like war. (ON A TOTALY SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE) Now I know this is going to sound wayyyyy weird at first but the first impression is not what I am trying to explain by any means and what I am getting at is the psychological aspects. (I am not saying in any way I want to this to be studied!!!!) However, I do think that there would be some potential benefits if it were studied, to help those who come back from having to do something like that. I cannot comprehend the matter of shooting someone dead. It just has not been programmed into me that it would be ok. I think that a lot of those who have fought in the wars were at first like this. A back home country boy who has lived on a farm his whole life and has not even shot a bird or deer. Now he has to come in to this war and start killing other people. I think there would be some really interesting things going on in the brain as far as neurological connections, and long term affects of exposure to the war along with the serotonins that are kept in the brain because of the stress the soldier is in. Again I do not want to see this research being done because that would qualify for having to kill people and study killing people and that is something I am not interested in doing in any way. However I think there is, a lot more that we do not know about that happens in the brain of a soldier that has been impacted by war. So please if this does sound weird I am not trying to make it weird in any way!!! Just trying to think in a chemical exposures to the brain.
