While Maxion is right, I'm with you that we shouldn't even be discussing anything here in a big forum before the 24 person study gets a 240 people study financed, and the 240 people study gets a 2400 people study financed. While it's clear that the researchers can't immediately test everything at scale. The likelihood of this result being significant are low.

Not only that, but any theory that simplifying it down to "high levels of this neurotransmitter cause X" should be suspect. I mean, there was a massive thread not even 3 weeks ago about "low serotonin causes depression" being completely rejected at this point. It's an interesting data point, but "glutamate build-up" is just the university's PR office trying to get eyeballs.
