Please , pump me brain full of tiny dopamine generators, baby! Wait ! What do you mean it's dangerous and experimental? No, No, No, you don't understand ! I fucking beg you ! Please, for the love of God ! "Sobbing"
Read it as if it was like a 50s era movie and a woman is begging for the main character attention. With all the overreactions and gesticulations. (that's what my brain imagined )
…What?
Your brain is already full of those things. Them not working properly is partly how things like Parkinson's and ADHD come about. Going by the article, while there was noticeable improvement in Parkinson's symptoms, it also wasn't a complete cure, and the patient didn't have a massive seizure, so it's not as though they're flooding their brains with grams upon grams of the stuff.
I meant more like nanobots. Why are people taking the dumb dialogue bit my half awake brain thought too seriously . Isn't "read it as if it was a drama show from the fifties" enough to understand it as over exaggeration.
