Re: Dopamine signals when a fear can be forgotten
#2can someone build a script that extracts the names of all this stuff like neurotransmitters, messengers, proteins, hormones and visualizes their amounts per metabolism around/at the time of the measured effect/observed behavior and or during the time of conditioning -- when stimulating (chemical, physical, psychological) measures were taken? a table to start with would be fine.
please? all that lingo is above my pay-grade

I believe this may be called neuroscience.

#5I have a simple question. How do I control dopamine in "my" brain so that I can focus on "here and now" instead of HN and GitHub.

#6Makes sense, as Parkinson patients, freeze or tremble, which are both fear responses. I have seen my mother die of Parkinsons. I see a static (permanent) fear response as the straightforward cause for Parkinsons (combined with a helpful personality, which makes it difficult to just snap out of it).
On the other end there were people close by that having seen war, took a life lesson from their fear response: you survive by being alert and by distrusting. They radiated a permanent state of alarm, as the enemy may come when you least expect it.

#8Incoming cocaine therapy!
Seriously though as someone who suffers from extreme anxiety I am eternally grateful for this kind of work.
I would really like to see this combined with brain stimulation.

Strengthen your prefrontal cortex so "you" have more control over your urges. You typically do this with meditation.
