In 1973 in Aberdeen, Scotland, a young man, John Hughes and an old man, Hans Kosterlitz, began the most exciting adventure of their lives, one that would dramatically alter humankind's understanding of the brain. They were looking for naturally occurring substances within the body that resembled drugs derived from the opium poppy, a natural morphine that would unlock not just the secrets of physical pain and pleasure, but would open the way to understanding how the brain orchestrates the symphony of human emotions. Their discovery was the 'endorphins', the body's natural painkillers. 11. Very Good/Very Good.
