Phenylbiguanide

Phenylbiguanide (PBG) is a 5-HT3 agonist used to study the role of 5-HT3 receptors in the central nervous system.[1] It has been found to trigger dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens of rats.[2]

gollark: Look, it has pattern matching in it, therefore good.
gollark: How SHOULD I do it?
gollark: ↑ you, as a result
gollark: ```rustfn matches(expr: &Value, condition: &Value) -> Option<Bindings> { match (expr, condition) { (Value::Num(a), Value::Num(b)) => if a == b { Some(HashMap::new()) } else { None }, (Value::Call(efn, eargs), Value::Call(rfn, rargs)) => { if efn != rfn { return None } if rargs.len() != eargs.len() { return None } let mut out_bindings = HashMap::new(); for (rarg, earg) in rargs.iter().zip(eargs) { match matches(earg, rarg) { Some(x) => out_bindings.extend(x), None => return None } } Some(out_bindings) }, (_, Value::Identifier(b)) => Some(vec![(b.clone(), expr.clone())].into_iter().collect()), _ => None }}```
gollark: You fell right into my trap, actually.
