=Post #1 Dancing in my "Genes" 01/04/16=

Ever since I was a kid I was always dancing and have always had a passion for it. After doing my research it has struck me why I love it so much and that is because of our high serotonin levels. When we release a lot of serotonin which contributes to spiritual experiences. I can agree with this because as soon as I hear a beat of music it's like my body is taken over, and I can do anything in the world. It's really neat how something you are really good at could be because of genetics and not just a talent.



A researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem said that genetic variations are what make dancers different. Richard P. Ebstein has shown through DNA examination that those variations are the two key genes we have, serotonin transporter and arginine vasopressin receptor. Both of these are involved in the transmission of information in the nerve cells; they were not surprised by their findings because of the athletics and musicians genetic differences.
