I was intrigued by the notion of a chicken running with its head cut off. When you cut a chicken's head off, you are essentially turning its inhibitory signaling off. It is interesting to think of this in the context of human beings. It it seems that we are continually being inhibited from certain actions. Perhaps this is one reason we don't reveal all our thoughts at once, and we take the time to select what information we reveal, or do not reveal. It is interesting to think about how much of our behavior/thoughts are inhibited on a daily basis. How does the nervous system choose what is inhibited at different times during our lifetime? Does the reafferent loop account for all of this behavior?
