TITLE: Ozempic may have revealed the brain’s hidden “craving center”

Ozempic-like drugs appear to weaken more than hunger—they may also reduce cravings for alcohol and other addictive substances. Scientists are increasingly tracing this effect to the lateral septum, a brain region that helps connect memories and surroundings with rewarding experiences. Packed with GLP-1 receptors, it may act as a crucial control point between thinking about a reward and feeling compelled to pursue it. The discovery could open new approaches to treating addiction as well as obesity.

#Buddhist teachings identify #craving as the root of #suffering. A diagnosis strikingly validated by modern #neuroscience. The brain's #RewardSystem, driven by #dopamine, creates "wanting" distinct from "liking", trapping individuals in cycles of unfulfilled desire. #Mindfulness practices demonstrably modulate these neural circuits, offering empirical support for ancient #contemplative methods aimed at liberation from compulsive craving.

Did you know that there is a culture of 18 U.S..C Sec. 241 behavior in #FreeWebHosting i.e. - #SocialMedia , that has a culture of #schadenfreude based on 'set up culture' where the platform itself has, as Advertising Company(s), with dopamine as a reward system, created a niiiiiice #feedbackloop of #federalprosecutions to the tune of 5 - 10 - 15yrs to life as a #rewardsystem in #FreeWebHosting ? 😆
