How to practice how neurons work in the brain, how people learn and how "fear" and "anxiety" learned once can be erased You can understand with "Neurotic Neurons"is.

Neurotic Neurons

When you visit the above website, an interactive movie is played, so first click on one of the neurons.


Then, the signal is sent through the axon to the neuron next to it, and further that the signal is carried to the neighboring neuron, and the whole becomes active. This is a simplified model, but what is going on in the brain is almost like this.


Here, neurons that lead to "fear" and "relief" appeared. Nicky Case of the website creator tends to worry about three things immediately, "Things that are regarded as failure by people", "What is near someone", and why "hole" had. Furthermore, it is said that this anxiety was creating "anxiety about anxiety". In the movie, only the red "anxiety" neurons are firing.


Why will people have such anxiety? To explain that, on the website is a brain synaptic mechanismHebb's lawYou can actually experience it.


After clicking on one of the cell bodies ... ...


Click another cell body next to that.


Then you can connect the two like the following. The following phenomenon that the neuron ignites and connects to another neuron and memory and learning is carried out is the law of Hebb. Hebbe's law explains why people are worried. For example, when a child is caught in a dog, a connection is established between neurons such as "dog" and "hurts", so people will have fear of dogs.


On the other hand, there is also a "law of anti-Hebb".


If you click on only the person who clicked first among the two connected neurons ... ...


Eventually the connection between the two disappeared. This is the law of Anti - Hove. Normally, two neurons strengthen the connection by repeating transmission and reception of signals, but if the signal is sent only from one side, the connection between the two gradually weakens gradually. For this reason, even those who have a fear against dogs will only touch dogs, and if the connection from "painful" to "dog" weakens, the fear of dogs disappears.


In the neuron that leads to "fear" and "relief" that appeared earlier, erase the connection to "fear" by clicking the neuron many times ... ...


Designed to connect with 'peace of mind' ... ...


People will be able to eliminate fear and anxiety about specific matters.
