A recent article in the newspaper stated: "posting views on Facebook and other social media sites
delivers a powerful reward to the brain similar to the pleasure from food and sex, a Harvard study
concludes.
The study, led by two neuroscientists and published this week, concluded that "self disclosure"
produces a response in the region of the brain associated with dopamine, a chemical associated
with pleasure or the anticipation of a reward.
Although Facebook was not specifically cited in the study, it focused on the brain response of
people's "opportunities to communicate their thoughts and feelings to others."
"To the extent that humans are motivated to propagate the products of their minds, opportunities
to disclose one's thoughts should be experienced as a powerful form of subjective reward," wrote
Diana Tamir and Jason Mitchell of Harvard's Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience Lab.
I agree with their findings because whatever views, opinions that I have posted in my blogspot, I
felt immense satisfaction.  It's a good feeling.  It does not matter whether people agree or disagree
with my views but I feel immense pleasure with my exposition.  A grateful thanks to the internet
for giving us space to air our views.
