Thoughts on set points
I also found the idea of homeostatic, set points interesting. If people have naturally occurring set points with in there nerves that regulate both conscious and unconscious actions, then it seems were are getting closer to the brain = behavior idea. In thinking about psychosomatic conditions, it is possible that a person can unconsciously alter these set points to produce palatable, physical illness? Considering ideomotor and ideosensory automatisms (where patients feel and behave in a way consistent with an implanted idea without reflecting on its sensory plausibility), is this “implanted idea” a set point that has been altered? Or, is this a more conscious decision?
