NU The Existence of A Chocolate Control Center Discussion

 

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

  1. Imagine the existence of a “chocolate control center” in the hypothalamic region of the brain. This chocolate control center has direct neural connections to stimulate a chocolate-producing gland that synthesizes chocolate and releases it directly into the bloodstream. Stimuli for this chocolate system include emotional stress and low blood chocolate levels. Physiologic effects of this endogenous chocolate hormone include euphoria. This chocolate system operates under a negative feedback system of control.
    1. How would this system respond to a chocolate overdose?
    2. What would be the clinical manifestations of this response?
