I Can View Character Attributes Chapter 327: Dopamine receptor sensitizer

《Dopamine receptor sensitizer

Opening the document that Feng Wenbin handed over, a striking title came into view.

"Dopamine receptor sensitizer? What do you mean, you are not planning to develop some contraband?"

Xia Xu frowned slightly.

After following Gu Haiming and others in Xinghai Biology for so long, he is not a novice in biology and pharmacy now, so he can naturally understand the meaning of this line of words.

There is a saying in biology that people are actually just slaves to genes. Carroll's laboratory's super brain project is largely based on this theory, which aims to break free from the limitations of the body and genetic instincts.

This statement may be slightly exaggerated, but it actually makes sense.

The birth, old age, sickness and death of human beings are actually controlled by genes, and all the behaviors of genes are only for their own continuation. They will even choose to sacrifice individuals when necessary.

Aging and death is actually the best example. Many studies have actually shown that the human body has a strong repair ability when it is young, but after a certain stage, various repair mechanisms will take the initiative to stop, and then the body will be damaged. The situation is getting worse.

This is a way of saving resources, essentially sacrificing old individuals to save materials for the survival and reproduction of young individuals, thus creating a long-term continuation of genes.

Of course, this is not a conspiracy theory, perhaps it is just a physiological mechanism selected by the survival of the fittest in the long-term evolution process.

However, it is undeniable that a large number of behaviors of the human body, or even all behaviors, are controlled by genes and the body, rather than subjective consciousness, which even includes desires and emotions that seem to come from the heart.

For example, endorphins, which are similar in nature to the secretion of k-protein, can prevent pain and make people feel happy. Behavior.

Another example... dopamine!

Dopamine, which is directly linked to the pleasure and well-being experienced by the human body.

You feel happy because your brain secretes a lot of dopamine, and the dopamine receptors are stimulated by dopamine to make you feel happy, happy, and happy.

To a certain extent, this thing is much more terrifying than those psychotropic drugs. It is the real source of happiness for the human body. When you play games, read novels and do sports, the results and essence of various entertainment methods are actually dopamine. secretion.

And what do dopamine receptor sensitizers mean?

We have to talk about the dopamine receptor first. The sensitivity of this receptor to dopamine is actually in a floating state, which is also a restriction and regulation of the human body.

When people are in a happy state for a long time, that is, when dopamine is secreted in large quantities for a long time, the sensitivity of dopamine receptors will automatically decrease.

That is to say, if you want to enjoy the same happiness as now next time, you need to secrete more dopamine, which means more intense entertainment stimulation.

This is also the most fundamental reason why people can't get motivated no matter what they do after playing games and watching short videos for a long time to do handicrafts, let alone study and work.

Because the behavior that was once tolerable and even enjoyable has become unbearable and boring, which does not bring any happiness, and naturally there is no interest and motivation.

After getting used to those rough and cheap entertainment, the dopamine they get from lower-level normal activities can no longer make the receptors produce happy feedback.

Of course, this kind of receptor is actually floating. If you are in a state of boredom or even painful depression for a long time, the sensitivity of this kind of receptor will gradually increase.

After all, long-term boring, high-pressure and unhappy, individuals may lose motivation and even have a tendency to self-destruct. At this time, the human body will naturally give some sweetness, trying to make it easier for you to obtain happiness.

At this time, the sensitivity of dopamine receptors increases, and the secretion and trace amount of dopamine can feel happiness and happiness, and can also obtain happiness in boring behaviors such as study and work, thereby generating motivation and interest.

The dopamine receptor sensitizer, as the name suggests, obviously bypasses the body's self-regulation process and directly increases the sensitivity of dopamine receptors with drugs, so that people can feel intense pleasure even in boring behaviors.

Sounds beautiful, right?

On the contrary, this thing can directly turn anyone into a disabled person, which is more destructive than any psychoactive drug.

What would you do if you could just lie down and press a button to generate an infinite sense of happiness and joy?

The answer is you'll be addicted, you'll be trying to get pleasure, you'll be doing nothing all day long, just pressing that button.

An experiment has been done in biology to stimulate the secretion of dopamine in mice by electric shock, and also give them a button to control themselves.

The result is that the mouse frantically presses the button, loses interest in the opposite **** and food, and exhausts itself to death.

Of course, in fact, this experiment is not necessary. In Xia Xu's memory, he can lie down for a whole day with his mobile phone, and it is too common to keep watching videos for a whole day when he is obviously bored.

This is true for indirect entertainment such as mobile phones, not to mention directly sensitizing dopamine receptors.

"Contraband? This..."

Hearing Xia Xu's question, Feng Wenbin was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned pale:

"I didn't think about it, boss, what I thought was to use dopamine sensitizers to regulate psychological problems, to be precise, to regulate dopamine receptor disorders.

As long as the dosage of dopamine sensitizer is well controlled, people can easily fall in love with study and work again, turning study and work into a kind of enjoyment, and greatly increasing efficiency.

The most important thing is that it can be used in the field of education. Although it is not as good as the super brain potion, it can at least make people have the patience to study hard, be willing and enjoy learning. "

"I understand that this is not the scope of your duties, Professor Feng, but as a pharmaceutical company, we must consider the consequences of drug abuse. The original intention of many hallucinogenic drugs is to suppress pain and treat Mental illness."

Xia Xu sighed and rubbed the space between his brows.

Feng Wenbin's idea is actually correct. The value of dopamine receptor sensitizers is immeasurable. It can turn everyone into a schoolmaster and a workaholic~IndoMTL.com~ Really enjoy learning and learning from the bottom of your heart Work.

This kind of effect may not be as good as the Super Brain Potion, but it is actually more universal, and the solution is closer to the essence. After all, even if you take the Ultra Brain Potion, those who are unwilling to study and work should be unwilling to do so. I'm still drunk and dreaming.

But as a pure scientific researcher, Feng Wenbin only had eyes for the effect of the results themselves, and obviously did not consider the possibility of being abused, let alone human nature.

Maybe it doesn’t feel like it in the Xia Kingdom, but in the West and some African countries, those drugs with psychotropic ingredients are basically used as poisons that are aboveboard, and they should even be called psychotoxic substances disguised as drugs .

Moreover, the dosage control of dopamine receptor sensitizers is also a major problem. Once the sensitivity is too high, you can enjoy happiness while lying down. Then everyone will lie dead at home, and no one will go to study and work This kind of behavior with high effort and low return.

"Then this project company intends to..."

Feng Wenbin hesitated.

"The research and development should continue as usual. The drug itself is correct, and it is also a good drug, but the production and sales after the research and development are completed need to be carefully considered. It must be ensured that it will not be abused, and the confidentiality work must be done well."

Xia Xu also hesitated for a long time with a gloomy face, and finally he was still unwilling to give up this black technology.

After all, as long as it is not abused, this is a magic medicine that can truly benefit the whole people. There is no distinction between good and evil in medicine and technology.

"Okay, then I will write the project application now."

Seeing that Xia Xu made a final decision, Feng Wenbin, who was originally so inclined, immediately stopped hesitating, and began to go through the approval process vigorously and resolutely, selecting personnel to establish a research and development team.
