The Lone Wolf's Journey: From Solitude to Reconnection

The 'Dopamine Detox' trend needs to end. - YouTube". 3:22 / 7:47 (note: very imp ) I made this so long ago but I figured I'd share a summarised version of what my argument is - as a a few ppl have gotten confused! 1) Most Dopamine neurons in the midbrain (the part of the brain we're talking about in dopamine detox) signal a reward prediction error (RPE - difference between reward and expectation). 2) This system 'updates' - we become better at knowing what to expect after multiple experiences and thus need a larger reward to achieve a positive RPE (e.g. your first chocolate bar tastes better than your 100th) 3) These neurons are mainly involved in driving motivation (seeking) rather than hedonic pleasure (liking). RPEs are also involved in learning processes. We can therefore learn to seek these things that give us a positive RPE, somewhat independently of whether we enjoy them 4) While midbrain dopamine ('mesolimbic pathway') affects motivation, it's not the only thing dopamine does in the brain + body overall. Dopamine on the whole, does a bunch of things. 5) E.G there is research to suggest that Dopamine activity in the VTA (part of the midbrain) may form part of the neural basis of delayed gratification (this is relatively new research though!) 6) Issues like video game addiction are so often multi-faceted, and involve so many different aspects than just desensitised midbrain DA neurons. I'm preaching to think of these problems not only from a neurotransmitter imbalance side of things, but also to consider how cognitive, social and other psychological factors affect your behaviour. Otherwise you might be disappointed in the promises made by a detox (basically, a detox might help re-sensitise DA receptors if you do it for a good while, but your issues are almost certainly more complex than 'just' that). (note: very good summary ).
