Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Ok e,I was ufo watching and all I could see were air hugs and kisses,lol. Of course I couldn't refuse a chance to contemplate,speculate and spin ideas,lol. Heres what I think is going on with pain,self injury type. There is lots of research into the brain and pain. Much of how pain is felt equates to an increase in the working ability of neural paths,axons ect. to the brain that evoke pain. Motor function and body presentation becomes altered as pain persists. Then a reverse signal from the motor function,body presentation gets disrupted info returning to the brain wich results in less pain to the area of the original signal. As the brain begins to process the info it must learn a new function,seperate from the body part involved. The body part may in effect become numb to the nerve info via damage,callous,axon signals ect. and be oblivious to the pain. The brain how ever would be actively involved in the lesson and releasing chemical loops. It may provide stimulation of the brain to provide chemical release such as endorphines{feel goods}fueling receptors that cause us to repeat the experience. When the receptors and chemical reactions fade down the self injury would stop. The process would start over agin,in sequence once the receptors and chemical reactions replenish enough to trigger a que or be available to the que. I would suspect the behaviors would persist for receptor life or duration and change to new sib as the receptor response changes or numbs to the chemical flow in the course of time,years perhaps. If no replacement sib is found I think the sib may stop as the endorphines would lose there potency of desired outcome of repeat sib pattern. To stop a sib a replacement action or behavior to release the same or equal chemical response must happen,in the brain. Then the body part involved would not be needed for the sib,or the behavior itself. This is my theory,opinion based on my own experiences with the brain and pain, I have found it to apply. In observances of human nature, behavior and research I believe it would hold merit. The facts I found in research of the seperate parts all contribute to the whole and connect. Basically what we percieve as painful in another person may be in fact not pain to them as an outcome or reaction. In our visual persumption or in our own trial of duplication,such as biting ourselves to feel what its like, it would be pain for us. If that same person experienced a threshold of pain outside of their {chemical} comfort zone they would respond in similar fashion with crying,ouch ect. Pain within their zone would equate to releasing endorphines or odd reactions in contrast to our own imagined response of painful events,like biting ourself or banging our head. Lol,lol,I just keep going,and going,and going! Hugs,high fives Tishanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
