Neuron activation potential drops the more it is activated by way of dendritic and axonal terminal growth. The more you activate a neuron, the easier it activates in the future. Conversely, the less you activate a neuron, the more it withers until it dies. That’s the underling mechanic behind “cognitive ease” and “emotional dysfunction.” The more often you feel anxiety, the easier it is to be anxious. The more often you get angry, the easier it is to be angry. The more often you are offended, the easier it is to be offended.
