It really bothers me when people write something here for the sole purpose of filling the box.

Why is elevated homocysteine considered a risk factor for angina? Citing a reference for this would make for a slightly stronger answer as well, just a suggestion, though. |

Introductory text for primatology Your changes to it are fine, thanks for your feedback! |

Introductory text for primatology Lucas, I put more of a professional spin on this so it's not as much of a "shopping"-type question. |

What is the smallest molecule that can present as an antigen to the immune system in the context of allergies? Yes, the glucose example was a figment of my imagination, I just wondered if it was theoretically possible, but your point about negative selection is surely true. |

What's a good and reliable database on the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data of drugs both approved and unapproved? If you haven't already, I'd recommend volunteering in a university lab, because you clearly have a strong passion for this with all of your questions! |

What's a good and reliable database on the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data of drugs both approved and unapproved? If you go to the brand for the drug (Zoloft), click on the pill form, and then click on the "label data", it will come up. On the main screen with the brand drugs, it also has a link that says "label available" (they aren't labels any longer, but those inserts that manufacturers put in, but they retain the old name). |

molecular bonds of organic atoms Apologies, that was the canned message that the review put in, but I just meant that you probably should have commented on your question that it was updated, if anything. |

A good textbook on Neuroscience This is too open-ended. As an aside, it sounds more like you are interested in artificial neural networks, anyway. |

Why have humans evolved much more quickly than other animals? To take such a controversial position, you need to back up your claims with studies or data. As of now this is just your own personal conjecture. |

What is the difference between SOLiD, 454, and Illumina next-gen sequencing? @MattDMo One too many "feel free"s, I hope you felt free :) Thanks for doing so! I may start a Meta question about it anyway, as I think it's great prevention against link rot. |

What is the difference between SOLiD, 454, and Illumina next-gen sequencing? @MattDMo Definitely feel free to leave the PubMed link. I was saying add the DOI link as well. The DOI is a permanent identifier that follows the publication around nearly forever. The link is http://dx.doi.org/<identifier here>. If you'd like to start a Meta question about it, feel free. I'm not trying to pick on anyone here, I just figure if you're already taking your valuable time to edit in the PMID, it's just one step further to get the DOI. |

Do serotonergic (5-HT2A-mediated) psychedelics elicit stimulant effects? You have some great questions that I wish I knew the answers to. Just a suggestion, you might want to see if your library can get Goodman and Gilman's for you. I don't know if the answer to this would be in there, but it is definitely the "go-to" reference book for pharmacology. |

Microscopy Book Suggestions Recommendation questions normally end up soliciting lists. You've narrowed down your your focus a little bit, but there are still scores of books on microscopy out there. Can you narrow it down any further (as shigeta alluded to)? |

Why is cold water more refreshing than warm water? Not to make a chatty comment, but I have always wanted to ask this on here. |

How does toluene inhalation damage the brain? Unfortunately, saying that white matter doesn't relate to intelligence is like saying that the only factor in how long it will take to drive from New York to California is the condition of your car. |

Do neurons secrete multiple neurotransmitters, or just one type? If you could reference the works in which you read this, it would make for a better answer. |

Why are mosquitoes repelled by smoke? Yes, but you (or the cyanide drinker) have more than just a couple of ganglia strung together and a lifetime of experience (i.e., would someone not knowing the fact about that odor actually be repulsed by it). Anyway, again, like I said, a plausible explanation, but evidence always helps. |
