"Big Nami" indeed.

Marchiafava-Bignami disease.

Booze rots your brain.

No, literally.

Marchiafava-Bignami is commonly found in alcoholics. It's when more than half of the corpus callosum have become necrotic. Dead tissue. Rotted away. The corpus callosum connects the left and right brain. Presumably this allows the two brains (left being systemic, logical, cold - right being emotional, artistic, warm) to function together properly.

What does drinking have to do with it, though?

Dyssomnia:

The wonders of sleep (disorders).
Sleeptalking (somniloquy):
Night Terrors:
Kleine-Levin Syndrome:
Narcolepsy:
Tetris Effect (trauma prevention?):
Sleep Paralysis:
Lucid Dreaming:
Hypnic Jerks:
Exploding Head Syndrome (don't take it literally):

Information on these to come, maybe? I dunno.

Introduction...

Will be done later.

For now: Adrenaline junkies. Being addicted to, even aroused by, potentially dangerous scenarios - for now, street racing and high-speed controlled movement in general. Limbic system? Control-oriented?
