Michael, regarding whether chemical xyz can affect the abc part of the brain - in a nutshell yes. You can even try this experiment yourself, drink about 18 ounces of very high proof vodka and observe the effects. Hook an EEG with at least 256 electrodes and I can start to produce a 3 D electrical activity map of the brain. Even better you can use a device called a functional MRI and create maps of the neurochemical uptake activity of the brain. All of these measures will show changes in the same regions in the brain. When I was at Virginia Tech, we were looking at EEG activity in the brain as it related to attention and how we process attentional information. There are clearly defined neural pathways involved in these cognitions and behaviors and they can be traced.
