"Wonder why
Iodine does that? How does it stimulate the brain?"

"The molecule's structure, its potency and speed of action suggest that it is a previously undiscovered neurotransmitter, said Thomas Scanlan, Ph.D., co-author on the paper and professor of pharmaceutical chemistry and cellular and molecular pharmacology at UCSF.
"While changes in hormone levels may take a day to have their effect, neurotransmitters can act within minutes to hours," Scanlan said. "T1 amine acts this quickly, and it has a chemical structure similar to dopamine or serotonin. Since it looks like a neurotransmitter and acts like a neurotransmitter, we hypothesize that it is a neurotransmitter." "
"Now that the T1 amine compound has been found, and its biological effects observed, Grandy hopes to study its possible connections to drug dependency and other mental health disorders.
"Interestingly, amphetamines and Ecstasy turn this receptor on," he said. "I'd like to think one direction that future studies will take addresses whether or not T1 amine might influence drug-taking behavior." "
thus, it is a stimulator to the brain. also, the reduction of addictive impulses, including overeating, has been reported by many, as well as the vivid dreams. it seems that this is the first thyroid hormone that gets ramped up using
Iodine and it is certainly some of the first effects most people encounter.
