in the stuff i've been reading for psych lately, there's a lot on neurotransmitters - on the balance of dopamine or serotonin in those all important gaps between neurons. too much and the mind tips into overdrive - rage, euphoria, hallucination. too little and it sinks into the muck of depression, the flatline of disaffect. the input signals and the output signals so shaped by the weather in the all-important space, that critical synaptic cleft, between them.
and maybe it's a metaphorical stretch, but just today i'm feeling caught in the synapse with nary a weathervane around.
