Here are some various lectures by Robert Sapolsky that I have found.
they have helped me understand some of the various subtle parts of the
brain's chemical balance that actually touches on much of our
discussions generally. I realize that much of what we talk about here
is not broadly known and sounds rather esoteric and unconventional.
Sapolsky is very well known neuro-ethologist researcher who is a
lecturer also and he also loves Bob Marley too(!!). His research tends
to be regarded as a "scientification" of freudian psychology but he
has a knack for effortlessly bringing his scientific lectures into the
current political realm. Sapolsky's new book "monkeyluv" (sic,
wink-wink!) has some very interestig chapters regarding music which
should go very nicely with deleuze and pinhas. here:

All in all it is very enjoyable...
(this is going to be great, hold on here it comes...)
