Coquettish Rebirth

"Before we talk about how to quit smoking, we need to understand some mechanisms of the human brain, so that it will be easier for everyone to understand the principles of quitting smoking or losing weight, so that when encountering other things in the future, everyone can also help themselves. If you design a plan and implement it, you don’t need to come to me for everything, so it’s convenient for everyone, right?” After Jia Hongjian threw out such a premise, he suddenly started talking about a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with it...

"In the past, in order to understand the function of the brain, some very evil biologists in the United States began to conduct biological experiments. How did they do it? It was to operate on a small white mouse, open the mouse's head, and place a part of its head Put two small electrodes in the area, so that it can become a circuit, and then these biologists can shock the brains of the mice according to their own rhythm!" When Jia Hongjian said this, At that time, the faces of many female workers were a little pale!Why does this experiment sound so scary?If the brain of the little mouse is shocked by electric shock, why don't they cook it directly?This is to kill mice, so give others a good time!

But at this moment, Jia Hongjian seemed to understand what everyone was thinking very well, so he continued to say: "This sounds cruel, but it is not, because the amount of electric current during the electric shock And the voltage is very low, basically it will not harm the brain tissue, it will only give the brain tissue a stimulation similar to bioelectricity..." Having said this, Jia Hongjian clearly saw the relief of the audience. I didn't expect these people to care so much about the safety of the mice! "What about this test..shouda8. Originally, I wanted to test the corresponding functions of each part of the brain of the mouse. For example, if it is stimulated, the mouse will want to eat, and if it is stimulated, the mouse will want to sleep. The result was once. They have come to a strange area at this time, just after a little stimulation here, the mice will feel very scary. Just like meeting a cat, they immediately run around!"

Although this joke has nothing to do with the theme, everyone is still listening with interest.After all, if you listen to this thing, it can be used as a conversation piece after dinner when you go back, right?But at this moment, Jia Hongjian began to talk about what he had agreed upon—"It's still Stanford University. The two young scientists here originally wanted to replicate this experiment of stimulating the scary area. They put electrodes I put it into the little mouse's brain, and then pressed the switch, and I was surprised to find that the mouse's reaction didn't look like fear at all, but seemed very cool!"

Very cool?what 's wrong?Is the experiment done wrong, or is the mouse brain too mysterious?For a while, everyone in the audience was curiously waiting for Jia Hongjian to continue talking. "Both of them were stunned by this discovery, why, because they found that with this stimulation mode, it is almost like playing with a remote control mouse like a remote control car! When the mouse is walking around with nothing to do. If the mouse goes to the east, they press the button, and the mouse will continue to go east! If not, the mouse will stop, and then walk around after a while to see which direction it is going. There will still be electricity! Even when they modified the machine, they put a small button in the cage of the little mouse, as long as the mouse stepped on the button, it would get an electric shock by itself. Then the little mouse passed by a few times accidentally After just passing by, I immediately discovered the beauty of this button, and I was pressing the button like crazy! I could even step on it more than 200 times in an hour! If it weren’t for the button, it will be powered once. Squatting on it will not keep charging. Otherwise, the mouse would not leave the button at all! In the end, even if the two scientists starved the mouse for a long time, let the mouse's chest stick to the back, and then put two delicious food in front of his eyes, the mouse would not go there. Eat, and keep pressing the buttons with great dedication!"

"How is this the same as being addicted to drugs?" Su Ping asked a little differently at this time.As a result, after she asked such a question, the employees behind her also echoed like a dream, "Yes, yes, this is almost as addictive as smoking opium!"

"That's right, the principle here is the same as drug addiction, or it's the same as all addictive things, even the same as when men and women have sex!" Jia Hongjian ignored the sudden surprise of the women in the audience. , He continued: "After some research, the two scientists discovered why. It turned out that they had placed the electrodes in the wrong place. Because of the misplacement, they discovered a pleasure center! This pleasure center is dedicated to secreting Dopamine! What is the function of this substance? The function of this substance is that even if a mouse needs to climb over a section of power grid that is enough to burn his paws, it will crawl over and press the button to stimulate the secretion of dopamine! According to According to the research of scientists, what is the function of this kind of dopamine? It does not give you pleasure as it sounds, but it is like a kind of promise that you will feel pleasure if you do it! This is the most important point of addiction! For example, when a man sees a beautiful woman who is almost naked, the impulse in his heart at that time is caused by dopamine. In fact, is there any difference between sleeping with a beautiful woman for a night and sleeping with an ugly one? At least from Biologically speaking, there is no difference, but why do men feel impulsive towards beautiful women? This is because of dopamine, and it is a promise to men to have something to do with that beautiful woman, maybe it will be very cool!"

Although some of the content in this passage is not acceptable in this day and age, but all the women in this company are married, so although I feel a little ashamed, I can't accept it. Everyone seems to treat human beings Many things have been understood.At this time, a female worker suddenly asked: "Is it related to drug use and smoking?"

"Yes! Taking drugs is a bit different from this. When taking drugs, because the ingredients of drugs will indeed secrete something called endorphins in the brain, it will indeed bring pleasure. But what is the problem, making them addicted It is dopamine. The two scientists mentioned before have done experiments, such as squirrels. Everyone knows that squirrels have the habit of storing nuts, such as walnuts. But if the part of the squirrel’s head that secretes dopamine is removed , what will be the consequence? That is, the squirrel will never store nuts again. When it is hungry, you give it a nut, and it will be beautiful. It will eat for a long time, but after eating, it will not think about returning it Want to eat. So if the dopamine-secreting parts of the brains of drug addicts are removed, even if they are addicted to drugs, they will not shout for another sip unless you put the drugs in front of them! Almost, in fact, smoking addiction is also caused by dopamine. Smoking, many times the addiction comes for that puff. There is actually no difference between taking a puff and smoking a cigarette. For example, he is not allowed to smoke in a meeting. After two hours of holding back the first puff Cigarettes are a comfort, but the second and third puffs are the same. It can even be said that after smoking one cigarette, he starts to feel depressed, starts to worry, and starts to think about the next one. Smoked, in fact, it’s just because of the first puff. Isn’t this the cause of dopamine, it’s the promise of dopamine to the old smoker—— Another smoke may be able to resolve the anxiety state of not smoking So to put it bluntly, smoking is not like taking drugs to get bliss, in fact, it is under the influence of dopamine, smoking for the sake of smoking..."

In this era, Jia Hongjian is the person who has explained the mechanism of human addiction most thoroughly.Ordinary people, who would know so much strange knowledge like Jia Hongjian!After understanding Jia Hongjian's words, these people at the scene began to think about something thoughtfully!

"So, it's actually not difficult to quit smoking, and I can even come up with several methods. For people who are not so addicted to smoking, they can do this-it doesn't mean that they smoke a small number of cigarettes a day, which is not easy to succeed , but to do this - tell them that there is no need to reduce the amount of cigarettes, and they can smoke as much as they should, but there is a small requirement. Every time they want to smoke, they can take the first two puffs, or five puffs, which is fine. Let them smoke for five puffs, then pinch the cigarette, and next time they want to smoke, pick up the remaining half or half of the cigarette and continue smoking... Everyone, Ding Sanshi has already laughed, yes, no Wrong, this is actually reducing the amount of cigarettes. In the past, a person smoked ten cigarettes a day, but now he smokes half of them and pinches them, and next time he smokes half a cigarette. In this way, the number of times a day is the same, but isn’t it just 5 cigarettes? But we can’t explicitly say that we want to lose half of it, because in fact, you have said it clearly, this is to put pressure on, but it may not be beneficial, just sneak into the village, don’t shoot guns! Just put ten cigarettes In front of him, tell him that it’s okay, you won’t be restricted, it’s just one eye shot or two, and the total amount will be returned to you, so it will be successful!”

When Jia Hongjian first mentioned this, the female workers were still a little dissatisfied and asked, "What about the old smokers who are addicted to cigarettes? My father-in-law has smoked for nearly 40 years. It would be better to let him quit smoking." How about killing him, will this method work for him? He smokes 2 packs of cigarettes a day!"

"That can be changed to another method. For example, put a small box in a drawer in his house, put two packs of cigarettes in the small box, don't put the packing box, just put the loose 40 cigarettes in it, and then Put a few complete packs of cigarettes in the living room, anywhere. Make an agreement with him at this time, that is, you can smoke, but you can only smoke the ones in the box in the drawer of the room, and you are not allowed to touch the ones in the cigarette boxes at hand. !"

What?You can only smoke the ones in the room, not the ones at hand. What's the use of that?Can this really quit smoking? (to be continued)
