And what are neurotransmitters?

    If you typed this into your address bar youd have an answer instead of a downvote. lol

    Neurotransmitters are chemicals used by terminal buttons to carry information across the synaptic gap to the dendrite of the recipient neuron.

    And what are those? There's actually a few reasons I'm asking and not just looking it up online.

    One of the reasons is that a 5 second search on neurobiology does not give me actual understanding. It just gives me a free-floating data point. And I wouldn't offer that data point to others because it's not coming from a place of real understanding.

    You're reading words on a screen either way.

    Who do you think is a better source:

    1. An unverified, inaccurate, low effort, and low quality idiot 😁
    2. or Britannica?

    Unless you mean something else that I'm not receiving.

    I appreciate that you seem to think that my brain is any better than that an low-effort and low quality idiot but it's not.

    The neurotransmitter person gave a quite confident account about the nature of attention and nature of human psychology. They clearly felt it was relevant to the point I was making. Surely someone like this has an university level degree in the subject and isn't just a random computer nerd who occasionally consumes some pop-science content online. It makes more sense to me to dip into their reservoir of knowledge instead of making a feeble attempt at reading some AI Summary on the topic.
