III. Analytical Section.
In chapter two, Golton diligently asserts that the inability to change a conditioned behavior or overcome a particular strong sensation, for example, such as smoking, binged drinking, or overeating is a result of "Neural Network Insufficiency." She continues to state that the left hemisphere in the brain has the concrete knowledge of the desire, as it demands more of the pleasure gained from smoking, binge drinking or overeating. However, a person cannot overcome the desire because of the neural network insufficiency, because "the person is lacking the "Neural Circuitry" to transmit the knowledge to the limbic system where the "I want" holds sways". .
I disagree with the authors simple explanation, plus she doesn't mention alternatives to alter or change these gross habitual patterns which, in correlation made lead to other severe biological problems. In my immediate research concerning the brain and its effects a character development, personality and overcoming negative habits such as smoking, binge drinking, and overeating. I've discovered and come to determine that the pleasures of particular patterns are stored in the hypothalamus. Humans are governed by two different rationales. One, a person could be governed by the higher brain, which is the frontal lobe, there is concentrated the elements of moral reasoning, sensible judgment and conscious. Or on the other hand a person can be governed by the lower brain where appetite and passion, the "I want, I got to have" mentality rule. Since the hypothalamus is where habits are stored, when a individual receives a stimuli to smoke, drink, or overeat, the lower brain where appetite is controlled says indulged, but the higher brain says no, since it has sound knowledge and should be in command of the body. However, I presume that the hypothalamus side with lower brain and indulges since the pattern or habit of indulging has not been regulated.
