I definitely can appreciate personification or anthropomorphization (I hope that is a word!) as a literary technique. And just like you said, sometimes it doesn't bother me. In fact, sometimes it adds a lot to a story. In this situation, it didn't work for me.
I'm sure the problem is that I'm too close to the topic and trained to be very careful with scientific language. I work as a postdoctoral researcher in a neuroscience/neurology lab. It's lab research (not clinical--I don't see patients) and the project I'm working on is about how your brain decides how much serotonin to make. :-)
