Plants are believed to have no neural network (possibly some recent discoveries of synapse-like cells). Yet they make lots of neurotransmitters, like dopamine, melatonin, serotonin, GABA, and more.

You could theoretically focus on eating plants with high amounts of dopamine and serotonin if you could figure out which ones had the most.

Neurotransmitters (NTs) such as acetylcholine, biogenic amines (dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, histamine), indoleamines [(melatonin (MEL) & serotonin (SER)] have been found not only in mammalians, but also in diverse living ...
