Compulsive loyalty at Starbucks and clues to it from a neurology lab – Medill Reports: Chicago

By Annie KrallMedill Reports

Starbucks has learned how to make customers keep coming back for more thanks to their rewards program.

And theyre not alone.

Thousands and thousands of businesses use rewards programs to draw customers in and keep them loyal. But why is potentially getting the next stamp or another level up so enjoyable to us?

Talia Lerner, a neurobiologist at Northwestern Universitys Feinberg School of Medicine, and her team of researchers are trying to answer that question and many more. Using mice as test subjects they are analyzing the neurological pathways that make compulsive behaviors so difficult to stop, especially when it comes to alcoholism or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

By creating an environment with superior neurological care and compassionate and award winning nursing staff, St. Francis strives to be at the forefront of leading hospitals in the New York area and throughout the United States.

Electro-myograph (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies - This test records electrical activity in the muscles and is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate the peripheral nervous system. It is usually performed along with an assessment of conductivity of peripheral nerves (NCS). The test can confirm or reject the suspicion of disorder of muscles or nerves, such as neuropathy, myopathy, myasthenia gravis, Lou Gehrigs Disease, radiculopathy, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Electro-encephalography (EEG) - This is the primary test used to diagnose seizures and epilepsy. Electrodes are placed over the surface of the head and recording brain activity for 20 to 30 minutes. The test is painless.

Somato-Sensory Evoked Potentials - Used as an assessment of the functional state of the conductivity in the central nervous system (unlike the imaging studies that assess the anatomical appearance). The test involves electrical stimulation of extremities with recording signals arriving at the brain. It is used to assess patients in a coma and those with conditions that can not be confirmed on CT or MRI.
