...Seems weird to me that poppies would create such a chemical as a so-called 'defence mechanism'. Seems more like an incentive to me.
That makes sense, thanks for clarifying..We're usually calling it thus against insects; which a dose that would be many times fatal to life of that size would not be to a "mega-fauna" such as a human (which is what we're technically classed as due to our respective size relative all other non-plant life on earth). In the same way that cocaine in the coca plant is an insecticide due to its anesthetic and stimulant properties killing insects, but not so for humans (though capable of killing humans in large concentrated doses too, just not as readily)
Do we have much knowledge on what mediates the pleasureable effects of orgasm, or what brain region(s) or cells are most involved?
Yes.
Dopamine
Serotonin
nor-adenaline
Oxytocin (post orgasm)
High Prolactin causes anorgasmia and low libido due to it's action on dopamine -- and vice versa
dopamine agonists can eliminate male refractory time and allow for multiple orgasm
I thought dopamine regulates prolactin secretion (D2 agonism at prolactin cells), not the other way round.
Prolactin lowers testosterone and increases estrogen production -- both inhibit dopamine release
I found a citation once about a direct action of prolactin -- ill have to find it
