Do you think[Neurology question]
#13
RE: Do you think[Neurology question]
If there was a neurotransmitter so responsible for cognitive functions that we could manipulate it to make us smarter, I'm pretty sure we would have found it by now.

But it's like I_am_not_mafia said, it's not as simple as increasing a neurotransmitter to increase traits. Neurotransmitters each have multiple functions, and often neurological traits are a result of the ratio of several different neurotransmitters, not just the level of one of them. It's certainly not as simple as more = better.
