The more I learn about the brain, the more I am in awe of how it explains human behavior and thought processes. Research on the brain helps us understand better why a person with an addiction can't just quit, and why it seems sometimes that we are hardwired to continue certain patterns despite their negative consequences. I am amazed at the hope that comes from understanding addiction in terms of a brain disease.Today I am going to focus on the neuron, which is the basic building block for the brain.
