Revision as of 07:40, 11 January 2025

Doctor P. J. Traunero is a neurologist who published a paper in Biological Frontier.

Biography

In January 2012, Traunero and their associate, Dr. Yijie Wu, used a prototype dMRI machine to examine a neuron in living tissue and discovered the existence of a then-unknown neurotransmitter in humans. Subjecting the neuron to numerous stimuli, the doctors were disappointed when it would not release the neurotransmitter. They then discovered that the neurotransmitter filled every vesicle and had its own ion channels for no discernible purpose. After finding no evidence of similar neurotransmitters in predecessor species, Wu and Traunero were baffled that natural selection created something exclusively in humans.^[1]

Using a prototype dRMI machine they were able to examine the existence of a neuron in living tissue. Subjecting the neuron to numerous stimuli, the two doctors were disappointed with the lack of results from the neurotransmitter. They then discovered a mechanism with vesicle-filled neurotransmitter laying dormant for no discernible purpose.<ref name="Glyph18">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Glyphs#18|Glyph 18: "Synapses"]]</ref>
