Pregunta 28

Pregunta
The impact of recreational drugs on the brain... The brain contains a [blank_start]reward pathway[blank_end] which causes us to experience a [blank_start]pleasant and rewarding feeling[blank_end]. This encourages us to [blank_start]repeat behaviour[blank_end] that activates that pathway (behaviour + nice feeling = continued/repeated behaviour). This has [blank_start]evolved[blank_end]- it is [blank_start]adaptive[blank_end] for us to feel good after eating high-calorie food for example, as it ensures that we store enough fat on our bodies in preparation for periods of famine. Drugs hijack this reward system and produce pleasurable feelings without and [blank_start]adaptive functioning[blank_end].
