A leading brain scientist's look at the neurobiology of pleasure-and how pleasures can become addictions.

Whether eating, taking drugs, engaging in sex, or doing good deeds, the pursuit of pleasure is a central drive of the human animal. In The Compass of Pleasure Johns Hopkins neuroscientist David J. Linden explains how pleasure affects us at the most fundamental level: in our brain.

As he did in his award-winning book, The Accidental Mind, Linden combines cutting-edge science with entertaining anecdotes to illuminate the source of the behaviors that can lead us to ecstasy but that can easily become compulsive. Why are drugs like nicotine and heroin addictive while LSD is not? Why has the search for safe appetite suppressants been such a disappointment? The Compass of Pleasure concludes with a provocative consideration of pleasure in the future, when it may be possible to activate our pleasure circuits at will and in entirely novel patterns.

作者讲述了不少关于大脑内部与愉悦有关的科学研究成果,可能是本书打分不高的原因。在大脑功能上提醒我还有欲望这个变量,欲望的产生显然是有着坚实的生物进化基础的。宗教上所谓消除欲望的想法对大多数人而言是不现实的,也从另一方面揭示了减肥有多难。当人的体重明显减少的...

我们被谁控制?《愉悦回路》 这是一本讲述大脑工作的科普书,说是科普,里面的术语挺多的。无论是动物还是人类都渴望快乐,这是人类的本性,一旦获得了快乐,那么就想要长久的保持下去,这就是成瘾。 能够让人类成瘾的很多,比如酗酒,吸毒,比如电子游戏,比如老饕,...

通过阅读能够了解,很多能让我们感到快乐的事情是如何在大脑中经过复杂的化学作用最终输出快乐的。而且每一个愉悦回路都是不断自我更新的系统,这个原理建立在大脑本就是用进废退的器官的基础之上,所以,让我们快乐的事情越来越少,因为以往能让我们快乐的事情在周而复始之后...

追求快乐是人类与生俱来的一种本能! 追求快乐的生物学基础:大脑愉悦回路,两个主要单位:(1)内侧前脑束(一束神经元) (2)多巴胺(一种神经递质,主要与高兴有关,起奖赏功能) 人为激活愉悦回路的两种方式:(1)植入电极操控(对正常人没有应用,道德上不太允许) (2...

The problem with neuroscience is that it seems to deny the existence of free will. When all behaviors are traced back to neurons and cells, it becomes hard to believe in concepts such as will and self determination.
