If you want detail, then go to the library.  This is too complex for a short Yahoo answer.  There are many thick textbooks on this subject, you should start there!

Neurological.  It's disalignment of chemicals in the brain. Certain drugs affect the dopamine balance in the brain.  The brain chemicals responding to these drugs proves it's neurological.

There are lots of neurochemicals, and the ones you're interested in are called neurotransmitters...\n\nMajor ones are: gamma amino bytyric acid; serotonin; norepinephrine; dopamine.  Also involved are countless polypeptides (often only a few aminoacids long, sometimes dozens) like melanin, the endorphins, the enkephalins, the endocannabinoids and others...\n\nWe're still unravelling the signalling systems and such of the brain, and the more we learn, the more complex it gets.\n\nThe big thing you have to realize is that the most recent data indicates that it is highly probably that the brain's chemistry is what is called (mathematically) deterministic chaos.  What that means is that any single small step is totally describable, and its immediate outcome is totally predictable, but when you expand to dozens or hundreds of steps, across large areas of involvement, it gets 'way out of hand, and the error of the estimate becomes larger than the estimate.  How environmental influences affect this is really tough to analyze, given the massive complexity and the incompleteness of our data.\n\nYour question, I fear, makes a whalloping lot more sense than my ANSWER, but, well, it's the best answer I've got...

I don't really know anything about it...but these guys do:\n\nBrown, et al. (2004) "Molecular mechanisms of cerebrospinal fluid production." _Neuroscience_ 129(4): 957-970.\n\nIt's a review of current (as of two years ago) models of active secretion of CSF.  Taking for granted that production of CSF *is* under active control, there is also probably some degree of passive filtration--even if it is only a very minor contributor.  The choroid plexus epithelium is connected by tight junctions that are supposed to establish an impermeable barrier, but these things are never perfect....\n\nSee, for example, the effects of stress on the blood-brain barrier:\n\nFriedman, et al. (1996) "Pyridostigmine brain penetration under stress enhances neuronal excitability and induces early immediate transcriptional response." _Nature Medicine_ 2(12): 1382-1385.\n\nI don't know if "NeuroProf" or "juicebox" have seen your question.  They might be able to offer more/better insight....\n\nAs to the responder who apparently has a bone to pick with the medical establishment...this is a site for people to ask questions and get whatever answers they can.  That is what Andreji did.  Useless answers--whether they be endless pages mindlessly cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia, or personal insults--are not appreciated.

its obviously wayyyyyy more complicated than that...  but here is what i found.\n\n\n  The Neurobiology of Love.\n\n        * Esch T,\n        * Stefano GB.\n\n    Charite-University Medicine Berlin, Institute for General Practice and Family Medicine, Schumannstrasse 20/21, 10117 Berlin, Germany.\n\n    Love is a complex neurobiological phenomenon, relying on trust, belief, pleasure and reward activities within the brain, i.e., limbic processes. These processes critically involve oxytocin, vasopressin, dopamine, and serotonergic signaling. Moreover, endorphin and endogenous morphinergic mechanisms, coupled to nitric oxide autoregulatory pathways, play a role. Naturally rewarding or pleasurable activities are necessary for survival and appetitive motivation, usually governing beneficial biological behaviors like eating, sex, and reproduction. Yet, a broad basis of common signaling and beneficial neurobiological features exists with connection to the love concept, thereby combining physiological aspects related to maternal, romantic or sexual love and attachment with other healthy activities or neurobiological states. Medical practice can make use of this concept, i.e., mind/body or integrative medicine. Thus, love, pleasure, and lust have a stress-reducing and health-promoting potential, since they carry the ability to heal or facilitate beneficial motivation and behavior. In addition, love and pleasure ensure the survival of individuals and their species. After all, love is a joyful and useful activity that encompasses wellness and feelings of well-being.\n\n    PMID: 15990719 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]\n\nalso see:\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=17118931&query_hl=13&itool=pubmed_docsum\n\nthis information was from\n http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/\n\nwhen you search, it lists all the different databases that have results.. i clicked on "pubmed" and got this summary..  full papers are viewable at "pubmed cenrtal"

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

Alcohol affects all neuro- transmission... not the hormone itself. Drinking alcohol is like drinking gasoline, the brain considers it a toxin and the body focuses on ridding itself of that toxin. If the individual pauses drinking and the soberiety catches up all systems are normal again minus some water for cellular transport. I do not see how a hormone can be depleted by drinking alcohol.

I've found that a lot of mental health meds were originally used or developed for epilepsy. When I read the inserts that come with my prescriptions several say for epilepsy. I suppose that is because they all work on brain chemistry.

D is FOR SURE the answer.\n\nThe hypothalamus is the center of the central nervous system. It produces releases releasing and inhibiting hormones, then through the portal veins sends those releasing and inhibiting hormones to the anterior pituitary to release the other hormones such as GH, Prolactin, ACTH, TSH. If you have any questions, email me personally.

INFORMATION IS CONDUCTED ELETROCHEMICALLY BY THE NEURONS THROUGH VARYING CONCENTRATIONAS OF Na and K ions across the myelin seath of the neurons.in a neuron at rest there is more conc. of k ions on the inner side(this is the polarised region) and more conc. of Na ions on the outer side(depolarised region) .thus the inner side is at a greater potential than the outer side .when a stimulas is received the conc. in a particular regin of the neuron begins to change. K IONS move to the outer side and Na ions move to the inner side.now in that part of the neuron the outer membrane is at a higher potential than the the inner membrane. in the outer region the Kions are surrounded by large number of Na ions due to this a current sink develops and the K ion move back to the inner side while Na ions move back to the outer region and this region gets repolarised.but the region next to this gets deolarised in the process.thus the nerve impulse travels across the neuron as a wave of polarisation, depolarisation and repolarisation.\n           as the nerve impulse reaches the terminals of the neuron called dendrites the vesicles present there release ascetylcholine and this neurotransmitter transfers messages from one neuron to another and the above process continues till the message reaches the concerned organ.

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the major drugs making up the hallucinogen class of drugs. Hallucinogens cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person’s perception of reality. Hallucinogens cause their effects by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. Distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord, the serotonin system is involved in the control of behavioral, perceptual, and regulatory systems, including mood, hunger, body temperature, sexual behavior, muscle control, and sensory perception
