    Melhor citação de Dale's Criteria: Proving Brain Chemistry

    “

    We're not just electrical beings—we're chemical beings too. Emotions aren't just happening in our heads; they're literally molecules flowing through our bloodstream, acting as a giant communication network for the entire body.
