One thing in this section that i found particularly interesting is aversion. As we all know, aversion is a strong dislike for something we have had a traumatic experience with. For example, getting sick after eating/ drinking something and then never being able to eat it again. Aversion happens between the hypothalamus and the habenula of the brain.
In my lifetime, i have noticed many people have aversion to many different things. For example, my brother dislikes chinese food because he drank chocolate milk with it and threw up. Another example would be my roommate with s’mores. I think this is a very interesting concept because our brain associates getting sick with that type of food, and swears you off of it completely. My roommate can eat all parts of a s’more separately, but not all together. The fact that aversion often requires therapy to overcome it is intriguing. based off of this, is aversion also disliking something because you have had it so much? or only when you truly get sick from it? My experience with my first question is when i was in middle school, I used to eat yogurt every morning with the granola and fruit pieces. Since I would have it everyday, I eventually became tired of it. If i tried to eat it past the threshold of me getting tired of it, I would almost gag while eating it for breakfast. I feel like this is closely related to aversion in same way. Any thoughts?
