The human brain is one of the most unique creations and representations of life. It’s not as big as other creatures however it encompasses things animals can only dream of doing. The brain is the control center for everything one might wish to formulate in life. For instances it controls your physical movement when walking or speaking. It allows you to dream of possibilities and then wake up and produce them. All of these tasks are controlled, synchronized, and structured by an organ that is about the size of a baby at 27 weeks. The brain performs an incredible number of tasks but the most fascinating of them all is its task that allows us to feel pleasure in numerous ways.
Pleasure labels the extensive classes of psychological conditions that humans and other creatures experience as entertaining, constructive or fun. It comprises additional detailed mental states such as emotions. In psychology, according to Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality, the pleasure principle is the driving force of the id that seeks immediate gratification of all needs, wants, and urges. In more shorten terms, the pleasure principles job is to fulfill our most basic and primitive urges, such as sex, hunger, and contentment.
The main centers of the brain’s reward circuit are located along the medial forebrain bundle (MFB). The most significant reward pathway in brain is the mesolimbic dopamine system. This circuit (VTA) is an important indicator of the pleasing stimulus. Beneath regular circumstances, the pleasure circuit controls a person's reactions towards the act of being rewarded. Some of those actions include but are not limited to food and social interactions which are a vital factor of motivation and encouragement. The activation of ...

...bundle (MFB), whose initiation indications to the reiteration of the satisfying achievement to reinforce the linked trails in the brain. This is one of the many ways we are able to be pleased however Both pleasure and joy are much more intricate in terms of psychological states than the words imply and though we may be able to confuse ourselves physically and also our brains into thinking a drug is actually pleasing the truth will rein in those aspects sooner than one may expect. Bad habits apply a long and influential effect on the brain that establishes in yearning for the object of addiction, loss of governing over its use, and remaining participation with it notwithstanding opposing consequences. It is important that one listens to the powerful sounds and signals the brain sends us through emotions ant thoughts so that they can live a long and pleasurable life.
Involved in the emotional reaction to pain rather than to the perception of pain itself.
The middle of the brain is called the limbic system which is responsible for our emotions, memories, and etc. We mammals have the only developed limbic system, and so we don 't have to rely on instincts to help us survive in life. The hippocampus which is located on each side of the brain helps us with our long term memory, and also to help us remember where things are. For example it 's help us remember where we put our keys. The amygdala is the part of our limbic system that helps us with our emotions. It also has one on each side, and paticulary is involved with our the emotions fear and aggression. For example if a women went through physical abuse she might be scared to be in a relationship again due to the fact she thinks it might easily happen again. Even if the new guy she is talking to has never hurt a fly. The hippocampus and amygdala work hand and hand when it comes to the pleasure center of the brain. The arousal by an over ride of electrical stimulation is caused by when a person uses an addictive drug like heroin. Really you don 't have to take drugs to stimulate the limbic system sex will also do the same. There are also reward circuits in our brain like when we get a good grade on our test or hear something really funny these circuits can be
Drugs seem to cause surges in dopamine neurotransmitters and other pleasure brain messengers. However, the brain quickly adapts and these circuits desensitize, which allows for withdrawal symptoms to occur (3). Drug addiction works on some of the same neurobiological mechanisms that aid in learning and memories (3). "This new view of dopamine as an aid to learning rather than a pleasure mediator may help explain why many addictive drugs, which unleash massive surges of the neurotransmitter in the brain, can drive continued use without producing pleasure-as when cocaine addicts continue to take hits long after the euphoric effects of the drug have worn off or when smokers smoke after cigarettes become distasteful."

The brain is an amazing thing, but it’s also such a weird thing. We just have this 3 pound ball of nervous tissue inside of our skull that helps us walk, talk, move, solve problems, write, read, imagine impossible situations that will stress you out at 4 AM , feel emotions, stores memories, and so many other incredible things.
The Reward System controls pleasure, and floods the neural circuit with the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is the central chemical in your brain.
The brain is the most important organ in the body with our heart. It controls every action, thoughts and regulates our bodily function. It is divided into section, each of them are responsible for various process. Before we can understand dopamine, we must talk about the different parts of the brain. The frontal lobe is the main difference between us and animals. ...
Neurobiology is a theory that deals with the brain and your nerves. It determines if you are a left or right brain person. One of the theorists is named Roger Sperry. He was a very big neurobiologist. A disease that deals with this theory is ADD/ADHD.
The brain is the control center of the human body. It sends and receives millions of signals every second, day and night, in the form of hormones, nerve impulses, and chemical messengers. This exchange of information makes us move, eat, sleep, and think.
This paper involves how the brain and neurons works. The target is to display the brain and neurons behavior by sending signals. The nervous system that sends it like a text message. This becomes clear on how we exam in the brain. The techniques show how the brain create in order for the nerves about 100 billion cells. Neurons in the brain may be the only fractions of an inch in length. How powerful the brain could be while controlling everything around in. When it’s sending it signals to different places, and the neurons have three types: afferent neurons, efferent neurons, and the interneurons. In humans we see the old part of emotions which we create memories plus our brain controls heart beating, and breathing. The cortex helps us do outside of the brain touch, feel, smell, and see. It’s also our human thinking cap which we plan our day or when we have to do something that particular day. Our neurons are like pin head. It’s important that we know how our brain and neurons play a big part in our body. There the one’s that control our motions, the way we see things. Each neuron has a job to communicate with other neurons by the brain working network among each cell. Neurons are almost like a forest where they sending chemical signals. Neurons link up but they don’t actually touch each other. The synapses separates there branches. They released 50 different neurons.
The cerebrum is located at the anterior-most part of the brain and is responsible for the combination of complex sensory and neural functions, as well as the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body. It is the largest brain structure in humans and makes up two-thirds of the total mass of the brain (“Cerebrum Anatomy”, 2015). Its surface, a covering made up of grey matter usually 2-4mm thick, is called the cerebral cortex and is mainly made up of the cell bodies of neurons. The cerebral cortex is responsible for integrating sensory impulses, directing motor activity, and controlling higher intellectual functions. It is also responsible for the state of consciousness, which still remains a mystery to neurologists and the rest of the science community (Swenson, 2007).

Does brain equal behavior? Some people have argued that they have difficulty saying it does because they find it hard to believe that our individual, tangible brain controls emotions that many consider to be intangible, such as being in love. This paper will discuss the role that the brain actually plays in love- why we are attracted to certain people, why we feel the way we do when we are around them, and whether or not this is enough to say that in the case of love, brain does equal behavior.
The human body is divided into many different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain, which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2. 75 pounds, and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells, and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the other parts of the body.
The nervous system is composed of all nerve tissue in the body. This organ system forms a communication and coordination network between all parts of the body. It plays a major role in everyday activities such as breathing, walking even blinking. It is made up of nerve tissues to receive and transmit stimuli to nervous centers and initiate response. Neurons are nerve cells that transmit signals from one location of the body to another. With damage to the nervous system the body would not be able to function properly. The body has to be well taken care of in order to insure proper regulation. The two anatomical divisions that work hand in hand to help regulate the nervous system are the central and peripheral nervous system. According to the Campbell’s seventh edition biology book the nervous system is the most intricately organized data processing system on earth. It is a complex collection of nerves and specialized cells.
In the past few decades we have seen how computers are becoming more and more advance, challenging the abilities of the human brain. We have seen computers doing complex assignments like launching of a rocket or analysis from outer space. But the human brain is responsible for, thought, feelings, creativity, and other qualities that make us humans. So the brain has to be more complex and more complete than any computer. Besides if the brain created the computer, the computer cannot be better than the brain. There are many differences between the human brain and the computer, for example, the capacity to learn new things. Even the most advance computer can never learn like a human does. While we might be able to install new information onto a computer it can never learn new material by itself. Also computers are limited to what they “learn”, depending on the memory left or space in the hard disk not like the human brain which is constantly learning everyday. Computers can neither make judgments on what they are “learning” or disagree with the new material. They must accept into their memory what it’s being programmed onto them. Besides everything that is found in a computer is based on what the human brain has acquired though experience.
