having a special interest in the neuroleptics is actually a really good asset in behaviour and cognitive neuroscience class. the lecture mentions the effects of basal ganglia damage, complete with graphs of agonist and antagonist muscle activation during a movement, and i'm like finally, that explains cogwheel rigidity

#iykyk #if you don't know: 1st-gen neuroleptics have parkinson's-like side-effects due to dopamine bloackage #as such i've kinda memorised a lotta the motor symptoms of parkinsonism #so seeing a graph even when the words 'bradykinesia' and 'cogwheel rigidity' weren't mentioned once i was like THAT'S IT. THAT'S WHY #and i know it's morbid but i'm just buzzing with excitement because augh this is my SpIn and i love learning about this
