Are these or similar reactions possible in the brain, given all the cell membranes and mylenation and so on that are primarily made out of fat?

I don’t see why they wouldn’t be… but given the site we’re on, I’m hesitant to come right out and say yes.

You shouldn’t (be hesitant), not for that reason.

  Heh, a good point; I would actually have replied the same way on any forum, but I thought I’d include that comment as a nod to LessWrong’s devotion to rationality. It probably helped that I had just read an article about knowing when not to venture a guess!
