> " This topic does NOT deal with how ideas or

> experiences enter the brain -

> that would be related to learning and memory, etc.

> This discussion will

> center, instead, on how chemical substances

> (molecules, mineral ions, etc.)

> get through the protective tissues of the brain that

> normally screen for

> 'invaders.' Our world is a home of chemicals and

> substances we did not have

> to process just a short 'time-line' ago. Come join

> us as we learn more

> about the functioning and biochemistry of our

> brains. " -- Jim Croxton

>

> Jim Croxton, M.A., has taught Physiological

> Psychology at Santa Monica

> College for 25 years, a course he designed based on

> his extensive study of

> biological psychology. The study of the brain and

> how its biology affects

> behavior and mood, remains an ongoing passion for

> Professor Croxton. His

> course includes the role nutrition plays in our

> mental processes.

>

> Based on his strong affinity for this subject, for

> 12 years Jim led an

> educational group in Los Angeles called MANA, (Mind

> and Nutrition

> Awareness). This group sponsored talks by leaders in

> the field of

> nutritional psychology/psychiatry.

>

> Jim is always very generous with his knowledge.

> Bring your questions to ask

> him during the question/answer part of our meetings!
