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.

路上讀書解讀: 人腦中負責産生愉悅感的區域有幾個,而且互相連接。其中一個部位叫做“腹側被蓋區”,當我們經曆一些愉快的事情時,這個區域的神經元就會釋放多巴胺。一部分多巴胺會影響一個叫做“杏仁核”的區域,它是我們情緒的控製中心。同時,另一部分多巴胺會作用於“背側...
評分興奮劑、鎮靜劑、緻幻劑、阿片劑、吸煙、暴飲暴食、賭博、電子遊戲甚至運動都會讓人成癮,是因為這些都會激活大腦的愉悅迴路,分泌多巴胺。人之所以願意沉溺隻不過是為瞭一而再再而三地得到愉悅的感覺。通常我們會認為一個人對某一項成癮是因為個人意誌薄弱、心理不健康。但事...
評分我們被誰控製?《愉悅迴路》 這是一本講述大腦工作的科普書,說是科普,裏麵的術語挺多的。無論是動物還是人類都渴望快樂,這是人類的本性,一旦獲得瞭快樂,那麼就想要長久的保持下去,這就是成癮。 能夠讓人類成癮的很多,比如酗酒,吸毒,比如電子遊戲,比如老饕,...
評分有沒有想過,吃貨們對美食的眷戀與宅男對電子遊戲的著迷並沒有本質上的區彆,藏書愛好者,狂刷微博的年輕人,與那些藥物成癮患者其實也都差不多。因為,這一切都與我們腦中的“愉悅迴路”有關。 有這樣一個實驗早已廣為人知:大鼠為瞭獲得電極刺激所帶來的興奮感,可以廢寢忘食...
評分這本書的原名非常長,叫做:the compass of pleasure: how our brain make fatty foods, orgasm, exercise, marijuana, generosity, vodka, learning, and gambling feel so good. 我更喜歡原意:快樂的指南針。題目中的幾個關鍵詞概括瞭全書的內涵,即大腦、食物、賭博以及某...
