Dopamine.

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

May I have some Dopamine?

So one of the things is that it really takes over.

So (Laughter)

They're incorrect patterns. They're false positives. They're Type I errors.

Smiling can help reduce the level of stress enhancing hormones

Proximity is important. Mystery is important.

L DOPA increases dopamine.

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

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

Everybody knows that.

Increase dopamine delivery rate to 12.5.

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

It means we bring an enormous amount of processing power to the problem.

That's why casual sex isn't so casual.

With orgasm you get a spike of dopamine.

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.

Why?

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

So perhaps more dopamine is related to more creativity.

It gives them the pie, it gives that kind of a behavioral punch which we've called a superpower.

Dopamine is the incentive and motivation chemical.

Y este motor produce energía intensa, atención centrada y euforia.

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

Dopamine is associated with romantic love.

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

It's the anticipation of the reward that causes it to kick off.

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.

And indeed, what these drugs do is raise levels of serotonin.

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

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

In fact, I saw Robin Williams recently talk about how he thought he was much funnier when he was doing cocaine, when he had that issue, than now.

Romantic attraction, that gets into the desire 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.

Because when that phone buzzes, and you start to take it out and the dopamine hits by the time you open it it's not every single time that you get the paycheck deposited, right?

We need to be able to reverse this formula so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of.

The pleasure system, as you see, which is the internal opiates, there is a hormone oxytocin, is widely spread throughout the brain.

Tanto durante el orgasmo como al simplemente mirar las fotos de un ser amado, hay un aumento de dopamina y de norepinefrina desde el área tegmental ventral.

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

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

And sure enough I've never been in one, but apparently they go all around the buses and the trucks and it's crazy and it's noisy and it's exciting.

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

And when you're happy what we call positive valence you squirt dopamine into the prefrontal lobes, which makes you a breadth first problem solver you're more susceptible to interruption you do out of the box thinking.
