professors/teachers/students,

Tell us about your pet peeves, shit that rustles your jimmies, that students do in your class.

>instruct gen chem at my state uni
>>students ask me to slow down my PowerPoint so they can write every word down (I have the .ppt file on blackboard)
>>that guy who emails me nonstop about concepts not related to topics at hand
>>that guy that comes to office hours every week, makes an effort, we can work together... then drops the course.... quits, gives up, despite having the right drive/mindset (10-15 of these types every semester)
>>to a lesser extent, that guy/girl who doesn't attend class, submits shit work, then wants to contest their 68% D grade a week before we submit final grades. I do feel bad that they wasted $3,600 for my course to not attend and fail tests

Current theory is exactly this, brain chemistry - specifically dopamine

>1950's, thorazine and haldol gets FDA approval
>D2 receptor antagonist
>lower dopaminergic 2 receptor activity
>hallucinations, delusions, agitation symptoms down

>>coincidentally, low dopamine contributes to Parkinsonian symptoms
>>Parkinson's is a deficiency in dopaminergic production in substantia nigra
>gross and fine motor movements affected
>pill roll movements, possible tongue fasciculations, rigidity, cog wheel arm movements, decreased functional status

>people taking meds to change their brain chemistry for psychotic patients become Parkinsonism type patients
>take meds to control brain chemistry to reduce symptoms
>new drugs target different dopaminergic receptors, serotonin receptors, GABA, and others
>meds also prescribed that alter neurotransmitter levels to control side effects

We are treading along a thin tight rope, where the best case scenario is trying to fit square pegs in circle holes as little behaviors or symptoms that are possibly normal are attempted to be fixed with drugs
