Mustafa Nazary, personal trainer who escaped Afghanistan, has developed a behavioral model for the brain. “When I discovered once we learn something that is objective and or we bond to it emotionally, the logic region of the brain (neocortex) goes dark and that new information becomes part of our data base or circuitry. We don't think about it anymore. I couldn’t sleep for two nights.”
