I have big problems with smooth eye pursuit, for example i can't play ping pong, because my eyes have a problem following the ball.

 

Yet, every substance that releases either NE or SERT cures me instantly of this symptom.

 

Idk, but i think i'm depressed after all. I have anhedonia, memory problems, depersonalization, moderate ocd, etc. All pointing to being depressed (ie. having some brain athropy).

 

Too bad some major improvements are not sustainable, like pseudoephedrine (shit restores my cognition fast).

Onehypothesized function of cortical dopamine is the "gating" of representations into prefrontal cortex. In other words, new items become updated into working memory by increases in dopamine activity, where they are maintained until another phasic increase in dopamine. In this way, dopamine levels are thought to maintain a balance between flexibility (being able to switch attention to new items) and stability (being able to ignore distracting items). This is sometimes called the flexibility/stability dilemma. There is also evidence that this "balance" of dopamine is arrived at through reward conditioning, such that stimuli associated with rewards tend to evoke larger increases in dopamine and thus are more likely to be attended.
