Hey r/Nootropics, we are two neuroscience grad students looking for your suggestions on an upcoming project.

As the title says, we are two neuroscientists looking for some advice on a project we are undertaking. We find drugs fascinating, so we are starting a blog about drugs for people that love drugs too.
We will be scouring journals and reporting on any interesting research we come across. We hope to break down papers so they're easy to understand while still keeping it intellectually stimulating.
We're curious what topics you would like to hear about, and if you have any suggestions for us we would love to hear them!
Edit: Thanks everyone for all the great ideas and suggestions. We are moving ahead with the blog, and once we have it up and running we'll be back here to let you all know. We'll be continuing to check on this thread, so feel free to continue discussing! If I get some free time (trying to wrap up thesis ATM, reddit is not conducive to that) I'll try and come back to address some questions people had.
What they were answering

* The role of histamine in cognition and wakefulness
* Characterization of the known binding sites of the AMPAR and NMDAR mediated ion channels.
* The role of protein kinase C in cognition and long term potentiation
* The mechanism in which Bacopa Monnieri increases the expression of the SERT
* How certain nootropics can enhance the efficiency of a cell's lipid bilayer, and how that effects cognition.
There's more, but those are what I could think of off the top of my head.
