Neuroscientists have identified a brain circuit critical for learning to make decisions that require evaluating the cost or reward of an action.

I want to stand still and smell the roses. I want to lie down. Close my eyes and feel the breeze. Weird. I feel the explosion. I feel alive. I feel happy and full with terror. (Oh, dear. Why now?) Right now that I forgot everything. Right now that I feel empty. I can sense the cosmos in me! I have learned nothing! God bless me. I want to learn everything!
