#behavior

1 postitusega1 osalejaga0 postitust täna

The more I observe and think about the #behavior of the chief figures in the #TrumpAdministration (Trump, Musk, Thiel, Vance, Yarvin, etc), as well as among their prominent supporters (not their mass supporters), the more I am convinced that we may have a more shallow understanding of #psychopathy in our society than we need to properly understand why it is that the people who end up in #power do so.

It seems clear to me that such people do not feel #emotions the same way most people do.

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂

(This question focuses on your personal feelings, not the impact on the world)

When you get a major #diagnosis later in life, that you have suffered from your entire life, processing your past can be really interesting, and really difficult.

Everything makes a lot more sense as far as #behavior and the suffering you went through. You now have an answer for help.

Then you regret not knowing sooner, and face a lifelong problem with a bunch of damage to fix.

It's hard.

But relieving immensely, to finally know what's wrong.

##Brain scans of people who’ve had #SARS-CoV-2 show a pattern of brain shrinkage that is distinct from normal aging. The orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus are the regions most likely to be affected post-#infection.

The ORBITAL FRONTAL CORTEX generates much interest because of some of the roles it is speculated to play in higher-order cognition, such as #DecisionMaking . It connects other regions of the brain to the sensory regions, #memory, and #emotion centers. Notable in #covid infections, this part of the brain processes #taste and #smell perception.

Cognitive functions usually associated with the orbitofrontal cortex include:

- Affective responses (emotional reactions)
- Decision making
- Impulse control

Damage to the orbitofrontal cortex may cause changes in social #behavior (how you interact with others and situations), decision making, and #personality.

People with damage to the orbitofrontal cortex may show -

MORE:
- Aggression
- Childish conduct
- Disinhibition
- Apathy
- Risky behavior

and LESS:
- #Motivation
- #Empathy / concern and for others
- Impulse control

Damage to the orbitalfrontal cortex may alter how the body reacts to emotions, leading to impulsivity and bad judgment. For instance, when making a bold decision, healthy patients exhibit physical symptoms of worry, such as sweaty palms. Patients with injury to the orbitofrontal cortex, however, did not.

Studies show that the orbitalfrontal cortex aids in forecasting decisions based on experience. If this part of the brain is damaged, people may make bad choices even though they are aware of the consequences.

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, some people find that the changes in their brain make them feel happier, unnhibited, less prone to worry, and more animated.
