New Findings

New research should change the map.

This is where Flow Hijacked does more than summarize papers. Every finding is worked through four questions: what changed, why it matters, where it alters the existing framework, and which new questions it makes possible.

Every page keeps the original evidence, the Flow Hijacked synthesis and still-untested hypotheses visibly separate.

What’s next for interoception and addiction?

What changed

The body can become part of the cue.

When contingent drug delivery functions as a reinforcer, its internally sensed effects may also serve as learned stimuli: a conditioned stimulus, a discriminative stimulus or an occasion setter. That distinction connects candidate vagal and insular signaling with prediction, craving, internal-state modulation of learning and a new class of treatment questions.

02Assimilation method

Not a digest. A controlled update to the framework.

A finding belongs here only when it can change an explanation, connection, claim boundary or research question inside Flow Hijacked.

01What the source shows
Design, population, mechanism and limits.
02What changed
The advance over prior explanations—not merely the topic.
03Where it connects
Explicit links to existing frameworks, lectures and maps.
04What follows—and what does not
Testable hypotheses paired with how they could fail.
