Des psychotropes inattendus !!

Atlantico.fr : Les médicaments contre l'excès de cholestérol, les antidépresseurs ou même le paracétamol, autant de médicaments qui seraient bien plus dangereux qu'on ne le pense. Certains de ces médicaments iraient même jusqu'à altérer complètement notre personnalité.  De quels types de changements de comportement parle-t-on ?  Concrètement comment se traduisent ces altérations ?

Entre la Libido, l'asthénie/motivation/procrastination, l'associabilité/irritabilité et ce qui nuit aux lubrifiant sociaux... ouais ... carrément

je lirai avec curiosité

Mischkowski’s own research has uncovered a sinister side-effect of paracetamol. For a long time, scientists have known that the drug blunts physical pain by reducing activity in certain brain areas, such as the insular cortex, which plays an important role in our emotions. These areas are involved in our experience of social pain, too – and intriguingly, paracetamol can make us feel better after a rejection.

    Mischkowski wondered whether painkillers might be making it harder to experience empathy

And recent research has revealed that this patch of cerebral real-estate is more crowded than anyone previously thought, because it turns out the brain’s pain centres also share their home with empathy.

For example, fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans have shown that the same areas of our brain become active when we’re experiencing “positive empathy” –pleasure on other people’s behalf – as when we’re experiencing pain.
