Biochemical processes

The exact biochemical processes that occur in the brain during visualization and the power of thought are still the subject of current research. Nevertheless, there are some findings that show how visualization and thoughts work on a biochemical level in the brain. Neurotransmitters. Thoughts and emotions can influence the production and release of neurotransmitters in the brain. These chemical messengers are responsible for communication between nerve cells. For example, visualizing success or relaxation can cause the brain to release dopamine (a neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation) and serotonin (a neurotransmitter associated with well-being and relaxation). Hormones. Thoughts and visualization can also influence hormone production in the brain. For example, visualizing relaxing situations or positive emotions can promote the release of oxytocin, a hormone associated with social bonding and stress reduction. Stress response. Visualizing relaxation or positive situations can help reduce the activity of the stress response in the body. This can lead to a reduction in the release of cortisol, a stress hormone associated with anxiety, agitation and depressive symptoms. Synaptic plasticity. Visualization and repetitive thought work can affect the strength of connections between neurons in the brain. These changes in synaptic plasticity can help learn new skills or improve existing skills. Growth factors.
