Acetylcholine is produced all over the brain and body in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Choline is taken up by a neuron and combines with acetyl coenzyme A (CoA) to produce acetylcholine.

Acetylcholine does specific things related to animal behaviors when released in N4 and in the ANS that are particularly relevant to NHers, but it is not only produced in N4.

It also says that parietal lobes is part of N3.

Parts of parietal lobe are part of N3. Other parts of the parietal lobe are part of N2. Lobes are not the same thing as networks.

I read on the net that acetylcholine is produced in the parietal lobe.

See above.

Now as parietal lobe is part of the N3, there shouldn't be an error.. but in the "Emotions and corresponding animal behaviors" file the neurotransmitter of N3 is mentioned to be oxytocin/cortisol.

Likewise, Oxytocin and cortisol are produced elsewhere but do specifically behavior-related interesting things in N3.

Neurotransmission is far too complicated to be fully explained in the context of tutorials, so for expediency we focus on the most relevant parts of the system to NH instead of the whole system.

Hi dude,

Re: ACh supplementation:
It works well for me but I'm aware that it's very different for others. If you find that you calm down if you smoke tobacco, ACh will probably work well for you, if you don't respond well to nicotine you may find similar problems with choline supplementation.

Re: posting: Nobody has reported any of your posts as being dodgy, so you may be slightly over-sensitive at the moment or perhaps doubting yourself?

Don't. You've kept core conditions, and once we start "climbing right out of the toilet", it's good to share our escape routes not only so we understand ourselves more (writing stuff down helps that)  but also so that others can find their own way out.
Imagine ...some  confused dude (think: ourselves, 10/20/30/etc/ years ago) having a real shit time trying to remain sane in insane circumstances, comes across this site and reads our posts and thinks, "hey I'm thinking those things and feeling those feelings too, and these dudes are getting through the BS by doing this stuff...."

So no worries dude, I only wish I had had access to a place like this several decades ago  :  )

Re tutorials: It's almost certain that some stuff in the tutorials is wrong; that's the nature of science. As new discovery happens and new research data come in, like in any other area of study we see a bigger picture and realize that some things we had assumed are incomplete pictures of what's really going on. Scientists can only get to the truth by getting things wrong a lot, and can only get to the proof by FTU a lot.*

Question everything you read, and if you find stuff that disproves what we're saying, send it in right away  :  )

*FTU = "Fucking things up" a lot. Scientists have to live with this; thus Occam's double-edged sword of discovery and scientific method separates scientists from priests or politicians, who can FTU bigtime for whole populations and still remain too dumb to realize wtf is really going on)  :  )

I'm not Alex and he might give you a fuller response but he once told me that huperzine is good for meditation.

Alex: Yes it is clear to me now what I said was just self-depreciation.

The reason I feel ambiguous about my 'journal' is that I've wondered if my journal is bad input. Or am I attached to what I've done and gained (which would probably classify as another ego game but it would be silly to continue so I won't). It's probably me just being very harsh with myself.
