No protons or electrons?
Was always under the impression neutron stars='normal' sub-atomic elements minus any space between them. You know, like if stong & weak nuclear forces just hugged forevermore.

Reply to Researchers show that the same system in the brain that enables us to avoid danger is also activated during selfless, helping behaviour: “These results contradict the conventional wisdom that we need to suppress our own fear system in order to help others who are in danger” by giuliomagnifico
Joseph LeDoux, researcher who popularized "fear" of amygdala evolved to see amygdala activity as "threat detection," then finally a "salient indicator" Amygdala may moderate primal emotional-motor activity, whether to protect self or other. Cool research!

Due to varied outcomes depending on outlook, it is sometimes called the 'expectancy effect,' and doesn't have to be a chemical treatment. Listening to a tone that has been 'experimentally shown to influence/diminish/ improve performance' will show an effect. This is why personal anecdotes can't be relied upon. If I pay for a quack treatment that had done wonders to treat my complaints, you may feel and believe it works due to nothing more than expectation. The take away is that you should choose to believe your efforts & choices are mightily helpful when committing to them!

Ahhhh- thank you! This makes perfect sense.
Universal forces are bonkers to learn more about.
