Learning/Brain Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
49	Reward	learning reinforcer
50	Punishment 3	learning reinforcer
51	Reinforcement	Both punishment and reward chemicals decay to produce this short-life chemical. It allows e.g. concept space dens to get stronger when ANY form of reinforcement occurs.
52	ConASH 3	Concept layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose CON NEUS - stops further con neu dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated cells for new concepts.
53	DecASH1 3	Decision layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose DEC DENS (type0) - stops further dec dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated dens for new associations.
54	Reward Echo	Reward chemical must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chemical is generated during that decay. Useful chemical to monitor in the Science Kit to see if reward has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' reward.
55	Punish Echo	Punishment chemical must decay rapidly, this longer lasting chemical is generated during that decay. Useful chemical to monitor in the Science Kit to see if punishment has occurred. Biochemical use as a measure of 'recent' punishment. '
56	Ageing	Decays over time, switching on receptors to change the stage of life from embryo through to senile. Stage changes then switch on new genes.
57	Starch	Emitted by food objects - converts to Glucose for energy. Does NOT decrease hunger in pre-Life Kit norns - this is done directly by Hunger-- (saccharin), so that junk food can contain high saccharin levels but low starch, etc.
58	Glucose	Produced from starch and in a reversible reaction from glycogen. Used up by muscle action.
59	Glycogen	Life force. Long-term energy reserve, produced in reversible reaction from glucose. Produces Glucose to replenish supplies for muscle action. Absence of Glycogen is life threatening.

Waste Products

Number	Name	Description
60	Waste Water	Waste product from the conversion of glucose to energy. May deplete naturally, or may cause behaviour changes!!!
61	Hexokinase	Enzyme. Converts glucose to Urea during the production of energy. Emitted by muscles as they demand energy. Consumed in the reaction to prevent residue.
62	Carbon Dioxide	CO2 is produced by muscle action. It's a useful indicator of short-term average energy consumption and could be used to simulate heart rate or similar data for plots.

Sexual Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
63	Oestrogen	Controls fertility cycle in females
64	Testosterone	Controls fertility in males
65	Gonadotrophin	Produced immediately when pregnant in large quantities. Used to suppress the menstrual cycle.
66	Progesterone	Produced progressively during pregnancy. When it reaches a threshold, it fires a receptor to cause the egg to be laid.

Some Toxins

Number	Name	Description
67	Glycotoxin	Extreme poison - breaks down Glycogen. Fatal if glycogen falls to zero. Found in Deathcap.
68	Alcohol	Ingested from fermented fruit, hootch etc. Causes drunken gait and possible sickness, etc. Causes much the same effect on norns that it has on humans...
69	Adrenaline	Natural adrenaline level builds up due to stress from excessive boredom, anger and suchlike. Has various deleterious effects on health.

Learning/Brain Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
70	DecASH2	Decision layer Atrophy Suppressing Hormone - emitted by loose DEC DENS (type1) - stops further dec dens from atrophying, thus ensuring a minimal supply of unallocated dens for new associations.

Unimplemented Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
71	Vitamin E	Fat Soluble vitamin, deficiency can cause infertility.
72	Vitamin C	Water soluble vitamin, used to maintain healthy connective tissue.

Life Kit Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
80	Purple Mountain Alcohol aka Dancing.	Reduces Need for Pleasure and Boredom over time. Present in the Purple Mountain Norns, and the Life Kit norn
91	Activase	Produced by muscle action in Forest Norns and Ron Norns. Reacts with Adrenaline to reduce fear and anger.
92	Turnase	Produced when the Norn is cornered or a creature is approaching. Converts fear to anger.
93	Collapsase	Produced when the Norn retreats. Converts anger to fea

IV Chemicals

Number	Name	Description
100	Energy	In nornal norns, 1 unit gives 1 pain and 2 glucose
101	Adrenaline	In nornal norns, gives 2 units natural adrenaline
102	Pain Killer	In nornal norns, gives pain decrease and sleepiness increase
103	Cough Medicine	In nornal norns, decreases Histamine A (associated with sneezing)
104	Sleeping Pill	In nornal norns, gives sleepiness increase.
105	Wake-up Pill	In nornal norns, gives natural adrenaline and sleepiness decrease.
106	Anti-oxidant	In nornal norns, 4 units gives 1 unit of Ageing. NB: This results in a creature that will have an extended youth. Tarlia created the Edited C1 Genomes to remove ageing irregularities.

Some More Toxins

Number	Name	Description
231	Geddonase	This toxin, produced by the Cave Flies, eats away both glucose and glycogen, making it even deadlier than glycotoxin. This chemical is only present in Purple Mountain, Ron and Forest norns.
232	Histamine A	Produced by some bacteria; causes sneezing (thus making disease contagious).
233	Histamine B	Same as histamine A, but causes coughing instead of sneezing and is not cured by Cough Medicine.
234	Sleep toxin	Produced by some bacteria; causes sleepiness.
235	Fever toxin	Produced by some bacteria; raises body temperature.
