BRAIN SCIENCE FACTS

What is the purpose and function of your pleasure circuit?

The purpose of your pleasure circuit is to produce emotional pleasure and rewards of all kinds as motivation for your resilience and endurance.

It is helpful to simplify the most complex three pounds of matter in the universe (your brain) by integrating the idea of your pleasure circuit with the overall concept of the global connectivity of your brain's structures and their functions.

You can explore how the new brain idea about your pleasure circuit relates to the new brain idea about your brain's global connectivity by momentarily focusing your attention on the following circular symbol and the #14 red arrow:

SIMPLIFIED HOLISTIC VIEW OF THE
GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY NECESSARY
FOR HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS

This circular symbol was created to convey a powerful visual image of the previously unimaginable coalescence of the many diverse and interactive physical brain structures that form the wonderful new idea of your self-manifesting holistic brain.

The symbol of 14 red arrows pointing toward the circle of human consciousness, depicts a conscious living human brain that is made up of many parts with a sum total of meaning that is greater than all of its separate parts.

Each of the 15 brain ideas in the image can converge and merge in your mind to produce the process of your self-directed neuroplasticity or, more simply, your mental force.

You are a survivor of utterly unimaginably odds over hundreds of thousands of years, because human beings could have evolved in other ways as is shown by the fossil record of earlier protohumans.

As the victor in the great battle to survive and thrive, we humans won out over many other prehuman and protohuman species.

Think of the small animals roaming around and escaping the claws and teeth and feet of gigantic dinosaurs.

Some of those small animals who lived in the age of the dinosaurs (65 million years ago) evolved into us after one of the five major extintions during the geologic shifts in the continents and ice ages that wiped out a huge number of species that had previously occupied planet earth.

Now that we are living with sophisticated technology created by science, which can control many of the conditions of nature in an uncertain but largely predictable world, the scientific method must be used to measure human potential.
