GABA

My boss pays me 82 francs (3 × 16) instead of 45 (3 × 15) for having served for three days as a fake subject in his experiment.

I propose that he put the money into a slush fund, but he shakes his head no.

He asks where my file is.

I think of GABA (gamma hydroxybutyric acid), then of presynaptic excitation, which is — evidently — synaptic excitation, and of presynaptic inhibition.
