Informed by unparalleled neuroscientific insight and written with his usual flare, Marc Lewis’s The Biology of Desire effectively refutes the medical view of addiction as a brain disease. A bracing and informative corrective to the muddle that now characterizes public and professional discourse on ...

Research suggests that a moderate amount ofsympathetic nervous activitymay be necessary for the initial stages of arousal, but that too much or too little can suppress desire. This might explain why watching a scary movie when you know you’re safe can be a fun date night, or why activities...
Research suggests that genetics dictates seventy-five percent of the likelihood of a person being prone to developing an addiction. Our biology can also affect the severity of withdrawal we experience, and also the ease with which we can quit an addictive stimulant. However, genes are complex and...
recent advances in theory-driven work are reviewed. We argue that the brain is a computational organ. As such, an understanding of the illnesses arising from it will require a computational framework. The review divides work up into three theoretical approaches that have deep mathematical connections...
Finally, it is crucial to be aware that smoking and drinking pose serious health risks to individuals. Evaluation and translation of these epidemiological clues for therapeutics have been difficult and thus far unsuccessful. However, a better understanding of the underlying biology and their relationship...
Beginning on the note of the aforementioned quote, written by a person with a different learning style, thinking in this way will help you understand the learning disability in a better way. A child is creative in many ways and has normal intelligence and still, the teacher is highlighting hi...

Matthieu concludes that the cumulative nature of addiction, building on itself over time, means you can’t stop on a dime. It took time to build up this habit. It will take time, and effort, to overcome it. But how do you find the motivation to change? This is a tough one. He say...
