DOPAMINE is our main ‘focus’ neurotransmitter, largely responsible for regulating the pleasure/reward pathway,memory and motor control. Its function creates both inhibitory and excitatory action depending on the dopaminergic receptor it binds to.

When dopamine is either elevated or low, memory issues frequently occur: forgetting where items are, forgetting what a paragraph said immediately after reading,or simply daydreaming and not being able to stay on task.

In the brain, serotonin has been identified as an important factor in sleep quality, mood, depression, and anxiety. Because serotonin controls different switches affecting various emotional states, scientists believe these switches can be manipulated by analogs, chemicals with molecular structures similar to that of serotonin. ]]> 2017-01-18 02:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/James_Williams06/lf6hoo7wxir6/wish/147717525
