RE: The biochemistry of body’s reaction to sounds
Is there any evidence that by exposing your brain cell receptors to the same stimulus substance over and over can indeed make the receptor less likely to be stimulated? Does this explain why after hearing the same song you once loved, over and over, you would get "numb"?
Awesome article!Keep it up!
most times some ligands (the neurotransmitters) may bind to the receptors without eliciting a reaction. Hence if they occupy the available binding sites of the receptors without dissociating and no reaction is created, they won't allow others to bind. This results to insensitivity in the listener and subsequently loose interest in the music.
