"For the avoidance system to know what to avoid, the content must first be represented. Each time the system asks 'have I not yet encountered the content?', it activates precisely the content it was meant to avoid. This is the Ironic Process Paradox (Wegner, 1994)." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"Content and avoidance effort repeatedly fire together. According to Hebb's principle – neurons that fire together wire together – their synaptic connections strengthen. The cellular mechanism underlying this is synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP)." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"Procrastination is neurobiologically not a laziness problem. It is a response of the amygdala to aversive stimuli. The amygdala marks certain tasks as threatening or unpleasant – tasks associated with fear of failure, boredom, ambiguity or frustration." Procrastination – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"What helps with procrastination more than self-criticism? The minimal entry: two minutes with the task, without a completion intention. Once the task has begun, the amygdala aversion marking drops. The NAcc responds to the first step." Procrastination – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"An immediate distraction offers the nucleus accumbens (NAcc) a dopamine release. The short-term relief is neurobiologically genuine – it produces real well-being. This is why procrastination works so well: it delivers immediate reward and immediate cost reduction." Procrastination – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"Excentration – a term coined by Johannes Faupel – denotes the deliberate shift out of one's own perspective and into another. Neurobiologically, this is a shift in the leading network: from the self-referential mode of the mPFC and PCC to the perspective-taking mode of the TPJ." Excentration – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"What distinguishes excentration from ordinary empathy? Empathy is often an emotional resonance – feeling with someone. Excentration is a cognitive shift of the standpoint from which a situation is assessed." Excentration – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"Mind Rooms – the concept of the Thought Apartment, developed by Johannes Faupel – has a precise neurobiological basis. The hippocampus is the brain's navigation organ. It builds cognitive maps using place cells and grid cells." Mind Rooms – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"When a thought or topic is assigned to a spatial context, the hippocampus connects both. Leaving the room means neurally: the retrieval cue is no longer active. The topic stays in memory, but the activation impulse is absent." Mind Rooms – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC; also known as the executive control centre of the frontal lobe) initiates the process. It formulates the intention and directs attention via cholinergic modulation." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC; responsible for conflict detection, error monitoring, and action selection) begins a continuous monitoring loop: dlPFC ↔ ACC ↔ Cortex ↔ Hippocampus fires in every check cycle." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"The hippocampus is the brain's navigation organ. It builds cognitive maps using place cells (neurons that fire for specific positions in space) and grid cells (neurons that form a geometric coordinate system)." Mind Rooms – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"The hippocampus retrieves the stored representation, the associative cortex keeps it available. Glutamate transmits excitation via the thalamus." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"With sustained monitoring, the amygdala (part of the limbic system, responsible for emotional relevance marking) marks the content as significant. The locus coeruleus broadly releases noradrenaline into the cortex – the system enters heightened vigilance." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"The amygdala marks certain tasks as threatening or unpleasant – tasks associated with fear of failure, boredom, ambiguity or frustration. The discomfort that the anterior insula generates is real." Procrastination – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model

"According to Hebb's principle – neurons that fire together wire together – their synaptic connections strengthen. The cellular mechanism underlying this is, among others, synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP)." Conscious Avoidance – What Happens in the Brain – published by Brain Model
