That is because standing steady is partly a result of slight adjustments to posture that are ordered by the brain in response to sensory information from the feet.
He has a hunch that "sex addicts" may show activation in a larger -- or smaller -- portion of the brain in response to a stimulus than a normal volunteer.
Present research methods show the relatively greater activity of specific regions of the brain in response to certain stimuli or in the course of certain mental or physical behaviours.
Using a very fast scanning technique, called magnetoencephalography, Young found an early burst of activity in the brain in response to the sound of a baby cry, followed by an intense reaction after about 100 milliseconds.
Neurosecretions formed in the brain in response to environmental stimuli regulate the synthesis and release of hormones known as gonadotropins, which, in turn, stimulate the gonads.
The secretion of ACTH by the pituitary is itself regulated by another polypeptide, corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which is discharged from the hypothalamus in the brain in response to impulses transmitted by the nervous system.

Therefore, it is unclear how habituation develops in the brain in response to security warnings, and how this in turn influences users' perceptions of these warnings.
Evidence from in vitro work and in vivo observations in other tissues gives hope that these perivascular stem cells may play a key role for regeneration of the brain in response to trauma, injury or degeneration.
