Description: Plato and a Platypus Walked into a Bar... Humor occurs when there is an unexpected twist in a story. The unexpected twist releases dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens of our brain. The Nucleus Accumbens is always looking for unexpected reinforcements. If it is not active, then you feel bored. Addictions come about from trying to stimulate the Nucleus Accumbens with bigger and bigger stimuli. For a change, try stopping and looking around you to see the unexpected right where you are. This will satisfy the Nucleus Accumbens and you will not have to look for bigger and bigger stimuli. Enjoy!
