Replacing Rook Earring

The Placer Act sends the animal or

Are you an animal

When you hear these words do not be offended are the purest truth. The ability to think, create and understand our environment makes us believe that sometimes the masters of nature, but we forget that no more than a hairless ape, controlled by an old instinct, seeking pleasure.

Pleasure is a great idea of \u200b\u200bnature aimed at reinforcing those behaviors necessary for survival. Thanks to him there are many species of animals that still walk the Earth. The scheme is really simple: Why spend on stalking, chasing and catching a prey? "Because food gives pleasure -" To find a partner, beat competitors and reproduce the species? "Because the clones produced pleasure. If we go to less primary aspects, the mechanism work: to analyze and study the environment? Understanding that gives us pleasure. It is just reward and punishment, nature gave us a brain rewards us with pleasure when we do things beneficial to us.

Where does the pleasure? The pleasure is produced by activation of the limbic system, a group of neurons responsible largely on instinct and emotion. It is located in the center of the brain in a structure called the primitive paleocortex that animal brain is still existing in our evolved skull (The animal in us all.) To activate the limbic system is necessary to the discharge of organic substances called neurotransmitters. Secretion is itself generated by the body chemistry in a particular activity: eating, sleeping, copulating, etc..

so powerful What is pleasure? With this question in mind, a group of scientists developed an experiment that was very enlightening: A single electrode was implanted directly into the limbic system, to stimulate electrically. After the electrode was connected to a lever in the monkey cage. What happened? When the animal learned to lever down experienced pleasure, its existence was dedicated to lowering the lever. Existence that was not very long, since the need and obsession with pleasure was that he forgot to eat and drink water. A real death for fun.

This phenomenon explains what happens in the head of an addict, all addictive drugs copied the structure of neurotransmitters and trick the brain causing the activation of "pleasure circuit" of the Limbic System.

drug consumption is related to pleasure, so that the person seeking to use again, again and again. The pursuit of this pleasure is not controllable then lies in the depths of your brain and expressed as an instinct, there is no reason that could block an instinct. Thus even if the addict is aware that it is hurting you can not control the urge to look for another dose. If allowed, and in some cases it happens, the addict could devote their lives (like the monkey in the experiment) to take the drug that produces pleasure.

So when you be angry with a neighbor to call the animal, think that anger is also an instinctive response and therefore further evidence that although the monkey Greek view, it is cute.
