The following reprint is basically one step beyond what was discussed. Because here we are talking about adding new experience to the learned set of behavior. This is why old behavior will disappear over time as the brain chemistry will change

When an image hits the brain that combination of receptors sets off a chemical reaction of course. For example if a different image were received a different combination of receptors would be fired giving off a slightly different chemical reaction. It would be a guess that the receptors are actually moving over slightly each time a new experience happens. Which would change brain chemistry imeasurably each time.

Behavior And Brain Chemistry..................... Human behavior is limited to learned experience and or instincts (instinct is compounded experience over time). The reason for this is that it is the way the human brain is wired. Human behavior is basically a series of switches in the brain. A set of behavior is a learned experience from yesterday and no human can escape that reality. Human behavior and brain function is modified with every new experience. Until experience builds a new switching mechanism in the brain that changes thought and behavior patterns. Brain chemistry acts as the routing mechanism/catalyst where minute amounts of chemistry regulates and keeps the system in balance. This change in switching can change brain chemistry over time. Genetics is basically like instincts, developed over time, to give a basic operating system. As a Mac is different from a PC, and each computer has different software applications. In actuality the computer is formulated from the basic or primitive way the brain works as it is from mans imagination it was developed, and what other structure can we apply but what we know already works. Now when we add artificial chemistry to brain function to change behavior. we are merely changing the brain switching system and over time the brain will change and become dependent on that chemical to function in that mode.

Like, is Benedict Carey sorta, kinda, like uneducated, sorta. Surely, he like doesn't sorta work with words, kinda.

The problem with scientists is that if it isn't in the book of the quanitative it does not exist. What they do not get is that if one doesn't use IMAGINATION to get the idea, one can't write the book.
