Our mind literally creates our body.

1:14:58
So it all starts in the cell.
The cell is a protein-producing machine...

1:15:03
but it gets its signal
from the brain.

1:15:07
One of the things about receptors is
they change in their sensitivity.

1:15:11
If a given receptor for a given drug
or internal juice...

1:15:16
is being bombarded for a long time
at a high intensity...

1:15:22
it will literally shrink up.
1:15:24
There will be less of them.
1:15:26
Or it will be hooked up
in such a way...

1:15:29
that it is desensitized
or downregulated.

1:15:33
So the same amount of drug
or internal juice...

1:15:37
will elicit
a much smaller response.
