| ................ | | --Once a Tack-Fu track gets into the brain, what does it do? |
| ............... | The drum beats combined with dope samples bind to receptor sites on the outer membranes of cells. Like a key that must fit a lock, the overall vibe of the track has to fit a receptor; otherwise it has no effect. If it fits, the Tack-Fu track can work it's magic. The person will nod their head, tap their feet, and shake their booty. Some tack-fu tracks cause neurons to fire again and again. For example, repeated firing in certain brain areas account for the "high" associated with Tack-Fu music. The music makes neurons keep firing by preventing the neurotransmitter dopamine from being reabsorbed as it normally would be. |
| ................ | | --How can a Tack-Fu track be addictive? |
| ............... | Addictive beats act on the brain stem and limbic system as well as the cortex where we perceive the music's effects. The brain stem controls heart rate, breathing, and sleep. The limbic system is the seat of learning, memory, emotion, and motivation. It also is the source of feelings of reward, well-being, euphoria, or "high." Feeling good is a very strong motivator. Do something pleasurable, like purchasing a cd produced by Tack-Fu or pressing the play button once a Tack-Fu cd enters the compact disk player, and the brain sends a message: "Press rewind, tell your friends and turn them on."Listening to beats produced by Tack-Fu has that effect, to a point where the listener needs them to feel good. |
