Comments on: Dr. Aubrey Daniels’s ABC Theory seems to be mimicing how the brain works! http://www.sastwingees.org/2006/12/20/dr-aubrey-danielss-abc-theory-seems-to-be-mimicing-how-the-brain-works/ Knowledge is Scrumptious Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:13:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Anonymous http://www.sastwingees.org/2006/12/20/dr-aubrey-danielss-abc-theory-seems-to-be-mimicing-how-the-brain-works/comment-page-1/#comment-303 Anonymous Fri, 22 Dec 2006 05:00:50 +0000 http://www.sastwingees.org/2006/12/20/dr-aubrey-danielss-abc-theory-seems-to-be-mimicing-how-the-brain-works/#comment-303 Thanks Archana. You are right. I think this whole neurotransmitter-led behavior must be "limbic". With humans having an advanced frontal lobe and other newer brain capabilities we can overcome some of what the neurotransmitters do to us. Thanks Archana. You are right.

That is why reaction to fear is unreasonable. When I was a child I went to my aunts house who had a huge dog. It jumped all over me. Since then I have had this terrible fear for dogs. I am trying hard to over come it, nothing seems to be working. I can will myself not to show any external reaction but all other internal symptoms persist. Looking forward to your next post on the subject -Archana I read somewhere that fear response is controlled by the Limbic system which is below the cortex and not a thinking part of the brain.

Good question Archana. I think you are right, future actions in response to a similar stimulus is likely to be psychological. It is not clear how many times dopamine has to be released to condition your behavior. So it is possible that dopamine is not released once you get attuned to new behavior. I am currently exploring how fear works. When you are afraid Adrenaline is released and that forces you to take a certain type of action famously known as "fight or flight". I am investigating whether the brain does anything depending how successful the outcome of your action is. Once i do some reading up, i will post that.

I am not sure if it is within the scope of your theroy. I am just curious thats all. You have said "It is also possible that endorphins alone are a reward enough for you to repeat the activity and Dopamine is no longer needed after you have performed the action. In other words, Dopamine influences you to do something and once you experience the endorphin reward you will do the activity again even if you don't receive another ration of dopamine to infuence you again." Does this mean that after the first time any temptation you feel is only psychological not neurological. Which would imply that it would be most difficult to resist temptation for the first time? Once the dopamine stops wouldn't be easier to resist the temptation. - Archana I just had one more question. I am not sure if it is within the scope of your theroy. I am just curious thats all.
