curcumin inhibits MAO enzymes
 
http://biopsychiatry.com/curcumin.htm

"...Curcumin (10-80 mg/kg, i.p.) dose dependently... increased serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) as well as dopamine levels (at higher doses), and inhibited the monoamine oxidase enzymes (both MAO-A and MAO-B, higher doses) in mice..."


theoretical synergy between curcumin and MAO B inhibitors (selegeline and azilect). both result in higer levels of serotonin.

That's interesting madelyn. My neuro mentioned that one as having qualities - it was the only one he mentioned.
