Dopamine and nucleus accumbens interaction is a rather expose’ topic for males and some women. Male rats that had electrodes implanted in their nucleus accumbens were given a choice between food and or dopaminergic release via stimulation of nucleus accumbens connected pedal. They chose without much hesitation the nucleus accumbens trigger time after time, until they died of hunger, blissfully happy. Powerful loop once tasted.
That says a lot about how our DNA was made and programmed, at least us simpler male species and it’s embarrassing for some of the statesmen amongst us.
That says a lot about our understanding of addiction, as heroine and orgasm stimulates the same pathway, and we stick them in prison or socially frown upon them.
That says even more about civilization as we want to think of it, the morals and what is normal between the control freaks of our schooling and childhood era we have learned to accept as the norm contrasted against Mike Tyson ear biting antics.
That says something about obsessive compulsives that we call our leaders during some of the most difficult times of our life.
That says just as much about the relationship that some of us have to food and why we are either fat and happy or depressed.
When a supposedly civilized and morally higher grounded country like USA does some of the Wiki leaked covert and plainly unforgiveable deeds, leading to continued war and famine across the continent in the name of war against what is basically religious fundamentalism, you ask yourself who really is a victim and who is a fundamentalist.
Religion and sanity are very closely connected in the brain. That is not necessarily bad so don’t go and bash this blog as atheist. The dopamine drive serves to prove how close to animals we really are, 99% DNA similarity to our closest family member but unfortunately intelligent, powerful, irresponsible and very challenged in the wisdom department.
Some beat up boxing opponents in the same ring whereas some go for distant country across the Atlantic Ocean. Some go for the chocolate slap and the cake left in the fridge if not Mac Donald. The target area in the brain is similar though, nucleus accumbens and dopamine for all including the drug addict by the street corner, we just using different mechanisms to achieve the goal.
Companies that had their boss’s picture in a basement room with a constant supply of rotten tomatoes to pelt his face performed better than those where such releases where shelved for home DIY. Inside lock and one way mirrors not negotiable in this situations and no log book either. Dopamine release and nucleus accumbens again.
Altruism is a foreign concept to humanity, we are a selfish bunch, we have to introduce it at school and enforce it. Let everybody enjoy the freedom of selflessness, but when we need dopamine release we have to realistic and give channels for acceptable expression of the real drivers, eg pedal on the anatomical area or food with the KFC taste but no health disadvantages.
It controls cortisol like no anti depressants before it. It reduces belly fat, the inflammatory type of fat that is leptin/cortisol dependent. It reduces plaque. Did I hear someone say we can treat coronary artery disease with antibiotics or anti inflammatories? We could soon be there.
If biochemistry and"> physiology of beauty and health are the elements of every mix, then results are assured
