Since you want to take a fucking attitude, we'll do it this way:
Talking about "chemical imbalance" just proves my point that you don't understand basic neurology.
Where did I say that I was a neurologist, or was an expert in neurology.
Do you mean dopamine release in the mesolimbic pathway?
Did I tell you about specific neurological functions or was my statement generalized, almost to an extremely broad point? If it was broad, why do you think it was?
Same happens when you eat, do exercise or have sex.
Hmm. It almost sounds like I was making a sufficiently broad statement that it could have almost included these things. But no, I'm sure you'll find the part where I told you I was a professional neurologist and addiction expert. I'm sure someone as highly intelligent and impressive as yourself wouldn't read too much into a layman's statement and then try to pick a fight with them on the internet. Ha, no, that would be silly.
Elevated ΔFosB expression and the build up of phosphorylated ΔFosB plays a much bigger role in addiction.
OoooOOOooooh. He used the delta symbol. Yes, I'm very impressed now. You're so smart.
You are correct. But your "brain chemistry" alters constantly and is a lot more flexible than you think.
Oh, please go on. Tell me more about what I think. Clearly you know more about what I think than I do because you're so smart. I mean, you might know more greek letters!
addiction is a neurological phenomenon, so it can be only sated neurologically
Weird, it's as if I was stating the obvious because I was commenting from a layman's perspective. But, no, that would be ridiculous. I'll just have to wait for you to tell me what I think and what I said because clearly I don't know it for myself. I need a super, smart, and special somebody to tell me what I said and thought.
2, what are these consequences aside from the effects on the FosB proteins?
Hooray! More camel case! Now I'm extra impressed. Although it is weird that someone as smart as you would end a statement with a question when it started with "because". But no, I'm sure you know what you're doing. You're my special expert!
And finally: Why would the brain use nicotine instead of dopamine?
I'd tell you, but see, I rely on experts to explain things to me. Now there not a special as you because normally instead of getting attitudes and trying to impress people they use it as a teachable moment to explain things. It's too bad we don't have any of those here. Maybe you could find one when you go and fuck yourself?
