How Pleasure and Pain Works in Our Brain

When we experience pleasure, such as delicious food or quality time with a loved one, we often crave more of the same experience. This is the essence of the pleasure/pain system in the brain - enjoying something pleasurable, and then the subtle pain of wanting more. In this video, I highlight the dangers of mindlessly chasing pleasure and how the reward pathway in the brain is implicated in both pleasure and pain.
