Dopamine.

L DOPA increases dopamine.

May I have some Dopamine?

Dopamine is associated with romantic love.

They increase the amount of dopamine.

Increase dopamine delivery rate to 12.5.

Dopamine is the incentive and motivation chemical.

Without the dopamine, we have no motivation.

An increase of dopamine caused subjects to see more patterns than those that did not receive the dopamine.

With orgasm you get a spike of dopamine.

Dopamine system, the wanting system, is much more centralized.

So perhaps more dopamine is related to more creativity.

Dopamine, I think, changes our signal to noise ratio.

So dopamine appears to be the drug associated with patternicity.

On the other hand, amphetamines like cocaine are dopamine agonists.

And by raising levels of serotonin, you suppress the dopamine circuit.

As you probably know, the neurotransmitter associated with learning is called dopamine.

One is the reward system, and that's fed by the chemical dopamine.

And that's dopamine fed. And that's, I must have this one person.

Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive, has two functions.

And if you give them drugs that are dopamine antagonists, they go away.

Not only do they suppress the dopamine circuit, but they kill the sex drive.

What's common among these groups of cells is that they all produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.

That whole dopamine wanting system takes over and derails from any of the pleasure system.

Because, genetically, they knocked out the receptors for a chemical in the brain called dopamine.

We have a behavioral superpower in our brain, and it at least in part involves dopamine.

He figured that this would drive up the dopamine, and she'd fall in love with him.

This means that the Critic must have spoken in that animal, and that the Critic must be contained among the dopamine producing neurons on the left, but not among the dopamine producing neurons on the right.

That is, you decrease the amount of dopamine, and their tendency to see patterns like that decreases.

And I have concocted a questionnaire to see to what degree you express dopamine, serotonin, estrogen and testosterone.

like cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, increase the level of mood enhancing hormones like endorphins, and reduce overall blood pressure.

It turns out that the dopamine hit to your brain, the reward center, activates before you get the reward.

But the identities of the individual dopamine producing neurons are clearly largely different on the left and on the right.

L DOPA's a drug, as you know, given for treating Parkinson's disease, which is related to a decrease in dopamine.

Dopamine flows whenever we are motivated, excited, vital, vibrant, curious about something, when we are seeking food or a sexual partner.

I've studied behavior on the basis of everything from genes through neurotransmitters, dopamine, things like that, all the way through circuit analysis.

These are the dopamine neurons, which some of you may have heard about, in some of the pleasure centers in the brain.

He became hooked on a sleeping mat, probably because of elevated activity of dopamine in his brain, just like with you and me.

When the addict shoots cocaine, when the addict shoots crystal meth or almost any drug, they get a hit of dopamine in their brain.

When you're young, new things really impact your dopamine levels, and you get very excited, when we're older we don't see new things very often.

We found activity in some cells called the A10 cells, cells that actually make dopamine, a natural stimulant, and spray it to many brain regions.

So, there's the bit about the dopamine and being a little bit, what do you call it, delusional, and you might suggest that was it.

And there's even evidence that our brains release some dopamine a pleasure inducing neurotransmitter chemical to reward us for seeking out and finding new information.

The brain has goals, basically, to feel good, to move towards reward, which is a dopamine release, to stay away from threat, which is a cortisol release, etc.

You fall in love with somebody who's somewhat mysterious, in part because mystery elevates dopamine in the brain, probably pushes you over that threshold to fall in love.
