Biography
Discovering the neurotransmitter
In January 2012, Traunero and their associate, Dr. Yijie Wu, discovered the existence of a so far unknown neurotransmitter in humans. 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.[1]
After searching for a similar discovery in earlier predecessor species, Wu and Traunero were baffled that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter. Traunero later concluded that this particular neurotransmitter evolved in humans exclusively.[1]
