Synaptic Plasticity:
                    Hebbian Theory

Synaptic Plasticity:
                    Hebbian Theory

  • “When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite a cell B and
  repeatedly or persistently takes part in firing it, some growth process
  or metabolic change takes place in one or both cells such that A’s
  efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased.”
  •“Cells that fire together, wire together.”

The ego is first and foremost a bodily ego....If we wish to find an anatomical analogy for it we can best identify it
with the “cortical homunculus” of the anatomists, which stands on its head in the cortex, sticks up its heels, faces
backwards and, as we know, has its speech-area on the left-hand side.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Pain always has a psychology. Threrfore, Chronic pain is a pathological conditions that has associated psychopathology. \nChronic pain isv complex, and the associated psychopathology is also v complex, and often dramatic. Treating the pain, dealing w the pts calls for an underrstanding of the psycho path.\nChronic pain always has associated psychopathology that contributes to the subjective suffering and dbi, and becomes difficult to disentagle fm the physical. \nChr pain is different fm oth conditions, which often, b don’t intrinsically involve psychopathology. \nNot arguing that all pts need to see psychiatrists\n

  161. In acute pain, there is a useful bottom line coping mechanism: the belief that the pain will pass, be treated, will go away. \nBut, in chronic pain, it will be there later today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, 2 years hence, 5 years, 10 years, rest of life. \n
  162. No innate capacity to say that the alarm of pain is not an alarm, is actually meaningless and we can carry on. \nContinued experience of threat, danger, which worsens, when chronic, and not only cna’t be ignored, but actually intrudes more prominently across our psychological barrier. Breaks the stimulus barrier. Internally, eats away at the self, the soul. \nBreach of the stimulus barrier\nLack of control, helplessness\nAs it becomes a part of self, there is a subjective imperative to control, with a reaction to the inability to control. \nSensation, fear, anger are experienced as out of control, when they should be in control, ie, as incontinence, with shame. E.g., the patient who says he/she hears from his doc that the pain shouldn’t really be there, be that bad, so the patient thinks it must be his doing, and is ashamed. \n“Mortification” is shame on steroids, and appropriate, since this is daily and global. \n“Narcissistic mortification” refers to existential dismay at our powerlessness in the face of overwhelming circumstances; having our faces rubbed in our powerlessness. My own example: what I felt regarding 9/11. Also refers to how the mortification itself is now incorporated into the self. \n\n\n
