Dopamine Deficiency and Dominance: Understanding the ups and downs of Dopamine Episode 4

Hello hunny bunnies ^^!!! Welcome back to the fourth episode of "Daydreaming...Again". I am your host, Princess Esezobor. In this episode, we're diving into the world of dopamine and its effects on our brain and behaviour. We'll explore the complex interplay between dopamine, motivation, and pleasure, and how it can impact our daily lives. Join me, your host, Princess, as we go on a journey through the ups and downs of dopamine, from deficiency to dominance, pronounce nigra as 'Viagra' and other words wrong.

We'll also discuss the negative effects of dopamine deficiency, including depression and anxiety, as well as the potentially harmful effects of dopamine dominance, such as addiction and impulsive behaviour. We'll also discuss the fascinating ways in which dopamine influences the content of our daydreams, as well as the role it plays in our ability to focus and sustain attention. By the end of this you'll probably learn nothing, but we move just like the drama in my life. Stay tuuuuuunnnned!!! References
