I wouldn't bet on it... animals will rather press a lever that electrically activates opioid release than level that causes massive dopamine release... well that's what they say in the textbooks at least, I'm not sure if it's true.They make your brain release a shit load of dopamine. That'll be the reason.

Neuronal firing causes cognition like legs cause walking. They're not the same thing, but one is the emergent property of the others action.So are you conceding that neuronal firing causes cognition?

That's an open philosophical/cog sci question... not fact. Just thought I would remind everyone of that.
Current trends seem to suggest that some kind of tight coupling with the enviroment is an essential part of consciousness/cognition.
hence cognition causes neuronal firing like walking causes legs.
