On its migration paths, botox destroys as many neurotransmitter systems as it can, and it finally reaches your brain and your brain stem. So, botox does not only smooth your wrinkles but also your EEG ;) I personally think many politicians and actors using botox act like if under drug treatments: now we know why!
