Depiction of a tranquil sea

Working on TYPO3 projects in a mixed OS environment can be challenging—especially when you're on a Windows PC and your projects are originally configured for macOS. Add in a VPN (often required to access private resources), and you’ve got a perfect storm of compatibility headaches. If this sounds familiar, read on—we’ll walk through key setup tips, common pitfalls, and how to fix them.

This text post outlines how mental illnesses like depression, schizophrenia, and HPPD stem from imbalances in brain chemicals and receptor dysfunctions. It highlights the roles of key neurotransmitters—serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, GABA, and glutamate—and how specific drugs target their receptors to restore balance. Conditions are linked to particular pathways, such as dopamine overactivity in psychosis or serotonin dysregulation in depression. Treatments work by modulating receptor activity to correct these imbalances and improve symptom

This article aims to show that ADHD in combination with chronic cannabis abuse does substantially increase the risk of developing schizophrenia and other disorders.

Due to their impulsive behaviour, a lot of people with ADHD tend to misuse substances like cannabis --- Does chronic cannabis consume and ADHD affect the risk of developing psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia? --- A small meta-analysis.

Transcription is the first step in gene expression, where genetic information is transferred from DNA to RNA. This DNA-dependent process, catalyzed by RNA polymerase, produces various RNA species such as mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. Transcription occurs in three phases-initiation, elongation, and termination-and is tightly regulated by proteins and DNA elements like promoters, enhancers, and silencers. Gene regulation determines which genes are active, how strongly they are transcribed, and responds to cellular and environmental signals. Disruptions in these mechanisms can lead to developmental disorders and diseases such as cancer.

This is a curated collection of neurobiology articles that I found particularly insightful and useful. Topics range from ADHD, addiction, and anxiety to psychosis, schizophrenia, and withdrawal. I put this list together for anyone interested in understanding how brain chemistry affects mental health. I’ll continue updating it as I come across more valuable research.

With over 24 million users, cannabis is the most widely used drug in the USA; a seemingly harmless substance if you smoke a joint in the morning - abuse, however should not be underestimated as it has many long term consequences.

This article contains a collection of basic neurobiological knowledge. If you are interested in this topic, feel free to read the following sections. However, do not expect any conclusions.
