So it seems activating this prevents motivation of risky behaviors, but only to a certain extent. It would be a good idea to test how much deactivation of this circuit would ultimately help people with schizophrenia (similar) major depressive disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and other disorders that significantly prevent people from being able to do anything because of significant motivation and other brain issues.
I would love to see the results on myself after a year of deactivation of this to see what I could get done myself considering my major depression, anxiety, and more.
