In an interview on Synaptic Success, Dr. Laney says that she combined research and her experience with introverted clients, who often had similar characteristics. Dr. Laney found that there were many studies on introversion in other countries, and she began linking these together to show the genetic differences between introverts and extroverts.

However, extroverts may also find the book helpful in understanding their introverted friends and family members.

Extroverts' blood flowed primarily by a shorter, simpler pathway to areas responsible for sensory processing.The pathway that extroverts use requires a neurotransmitter called dopamine. The dopamine circuit is a reward circuit and it is related to movement and learning. Extroverts have a low sensitivity to dopamine and need more dopamine to feel good. Extroverts also need adrenaline to make more dopamine...Buy a copy to keep reading!
