Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator ↗What it does
Explain neural substrates of behavior, neurotransmitter mechanisms, and plasticity
Best for
Understanding brain constraints on behavior, design decisions informed by neural limits, or psychopharmacology reasoning.
Inputs
- · behavioral question
- · psychological phenomenon
- · organism type
Outputs
- · brain structure explanation
- · neurotransmitter summary
- · plasticity implications
Preconditions
- · question about behavior/cognition
- · organism specified (human/animal)
Failure modes
- · 1:1 biology-psychology mapping oversimplifies
- · ignores environmental factors if purely neural focus
Trust signals
- · Phineas Gage case (PFC damage → personality change)
- · H.M. amnesia (hippocampus → memory consolidation)
- · LeDoux two-pathway model (amygdala)
