(Best Syndication) Researchers at the University of Cambridge say that drug addiction is a “brain disorder” and that new research may lead to a treatment. They say that changes in the chemistry in the brain is linked with drug addiction in humans, but up until now were not sure whether it was because some people were “predisposed to drug addiction because of these chemical changes or if chronic drug use itself caused the chemical changes in the brain.”
The researchers think they have resolved that issue. New studies involving rats indicates that people may be predisposed to addiction. According to the report, PET (positron emission tomography) scans indicated that rats that were behaviorally impulsive, but which had not been exposed to drugs, had significantly less brain dopamine receptors than their more restrained counterparts.

It can also be controlled. And its power overcome.

I would say the same dynamics of predisposition apply to drug and alcohol addiction, abnormal predilection towards sex, smoking, and even homosexuality.

And music. The same dynamics apply to the fabricators of falshoods. I think what they do is abnormally habitual and quite paraphilic.
Also, homosexuality is not an abnormality. The abnormal predilection towards scandalizing it, is. Welcome to the secular world.

I agree with that. We are probably all predisposed to certain things. The identical twins sepearted at birth studies seem to bear that out. Plus, this thing in the brain seems to point there too.

Horses can act kind of 'funny' too sometimes. However, when they see, hear, and feel the crack of the whip, their behavior can change in an instant. In other words: pathological behavior has to be UNCONDITIONED  |

The sound of the crack of the whip is a variable. Is it the sound that causes the neurosis, or the reaction to the sound?

| It's the sound that causes it because they know what happened when they heard that sound before. They are recalling pain. |
