You're seeking bipolar gene expression. No doctor would implant an electrode directly into your Neucleus accumbens. I don't think this is what DBS does.
Even so, rat experiments show that they will develop tollerance to threshold electrical stimulation of the neucleus accumbens.
It is *too* hard wired. It is impossable to think your way around it. Its got feedback loops on its feedback loops.
It is the nature of human to believe he can achieve perpetual happiness, but your brain would never let you get there as then nothing else would matter.
