zombrex

the goal of my cure is to help the zombie become normal again.I plan to do this by fixing all of the parts of the brain in the zombie that are damaged like the cerebellum to fix the balance issue.
The chemicals we added where

  1. 6 doses of gaba 
  2. 7 doses of serotonin 
  3. 4 doses of epinephrine  
  4. 7 doses of dopamine 
  5. 8 doses of glutamate
The gaba stops the brain from being too active
serotonin runs the certain pars of the body such as sleep, mood,and behavior 
epinephrine activates the fight or flight response
dopamine helps the brain transmit signals
glutamate helps memory and learning
