Even if I earn money, they won't let me have it. How they take it is creative. It's always annoyed me that even when I earn things or perform better than people, how they deserve whatever I have. Maybe I can't get excited anymore.

if they could find a way to make the negative symptoms go away, I would be uber happy.

I Love this lecture; I should have gone to Stanford =p

NAcc is the most interesting component of the reward circuit, and the very brain IMO. Along with the Ventral Tegmentum and Substantia Nigra ^^

One day I'm sure devices will be invented which allow direct stimulation, and could be programmed to respond to specific situations as well (eg. weight loss, working out, going to work, avoiding chocolate, etc.); there's a huge foray of possibilities present. High-reward for preset circumstances.
