It's a quiet night, and after two hours of bathing, your mind seems to become uncontrollable, and your mind is churning like a storm, and you can't calm down. You try to speak, but you find it difficult to concentrate and your mind is scattered.
So, how does a completely inattentive brain function?
First, we need to understand how attention is generated.
When your brain needs to focus, dopaminergic neurons release large amounts of dopamine, which stimulates the attention control center in the prefrontal lobe.
These dopamines target receptors on neurons, and once they receive a dopamine signal, these neurons start working to make your visual and auditory focus more focused.
The tighter the dopamine binds to the receptors, the more focused and focused it is, helping you do your tasks better.
However, some people's brains work in completely different ways.
Due to the influence of genes, their dopaminergic neurons are naturally passive and do not like to produce dopamine, resulting in a severe shortage of dopamine production.
When dopamine reaches the prefrontal lobe, receptors on neurons may also become unresponsive.
This makes the attention control center completely incapable of working properly when the brain needs to focus. Information can't be filtered, everything you see is constantly attracting your attention, and all kinds of thoughts are constantly coming to mind.
In this case, the brain tries to forcibly discharge neurons that are not related to the task, trying to concentrate. However, this is counterproductive and confuses the brain even more, and other noises spread in the brain, causing you to be constantly distracted. Small movements will also increase as a result.
At the same time, other areas of the brain are also confused.
The hippocampus's storage capacity becomes limited under the influence of genes, and the temporary storage and processing of memories does not work properly, making it difficult to store more memories. Maybe you're talking to someone, but your brain is blank. I often lose things in life.
In addition, the unconscious operating areas of the brain may also be structurally deranged.
The Meaningless Run Zone runs faster, making your time perception extremely inaccurate. An hour that others feel may be just a minute for you, which also makes you feel confused and lost.
Correspondingly, at the deeper levels of the brain, there is a part of the brain that is responsible for emotions called the amygdala. The amygdala plays a key role in mood assessment and regulation.
However, for people who are unable to concentrate, their amygdala function may be abnormal, causing them to assess their emotions more negatively, have more difficulty recovering from negative emotions, and become prone to irritability and self-blame.
This state of affairs is not due to the individual's character problems, but because the brain operates differently. This is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, which is often referred to as ADHD.
Therefore, if you find yourself having trouble concentrating. Don't worry too much. Try to take some relaxation methods, such as deep breathing, meditation, or engaging in some relaxing activities to help you regain your calm.
According to statistics, there are about 45% of the adult population exhibits symptoms of ADHD. In severe cases, patients may not be able to concentrate on completing their studies or work.
For this case, medication** is an option. By giving stimulants to neurons, patients can be helped to focus.
However, we should not degrade ourselves for it. Because this kind of leap-thinking can sometimes be a gift. For example, studies have shown that Leonardo da Vinci may have suffered from this disorder.
If you also have problems with procrastination and slow start-up, it could mean that the mass learning style is not for you. You can try other ways of learning, such as giving yourself positive feedback during the learning process to get motivation.
Overall, the more we learn about this disorder, the better we can control it and allow the storm in the brain to come more gently. That's all for this article, if you are interested in this issue, welcome to like, favorite, share and comment, and we'll see you next time.
