How do you summarize the pharmacology into a short conversation?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

I discuss NMDA and AMPA receptors, and how racetams are positive allosteric modulators. I talk about glutamate and it's role in memory and learning. I discuss possible involvement with acetyl-choline. Basically I explain to them how racetams enhance and protect your body's natural process for information transmission and storage. If they want to go deeper, I keep discussing. Most of the time they realize I know what I am doing and leave it at that. However, they are used to me and my discussions. I have talks with them about everything from economic and political theory, to neurochemistry and thermodynamics. Some conversations last longer than others.
