Nothing is ever enough for dopamine. It is the pursuit that matters, and the victory, but there is no finish line, and never will be. Winning, like drugs, can be addictive. I've worked as an artist for forty years, and the question 'Why am I like this?' has been a puzzle, a mystery, a plea, and an occasional cry to the heavens. Lieberman and Long have created a road map for all those wrestling between insatiable longing and the here and now. Chapter 2: Drugs............................................................................................................. 45 People have this mistaken notion that you get high. What you’re really getting is relief from the low. The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas―and progress itself.
The crux of our behaviour boils down to two outlooks we humans have – here & now matters (which the authors refer to as the H&N circuit) and the future (our desires and actions). Dopamine is largely what determines how we approach the future – high dopamine defining the drive. Dopamine circuits are in two categories – ones which determine our desires and the other which exerts control over our actions. In the past, when I was even more naïve as to how the world works than I am today, I'd think this book explained a lot of human nature.Violence is sometimes the result of dysfunction or pathology. But most of the time, violence is a choice—a coercive and calculated way to get the thing you want. The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine . Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas—and progress itself.
Our brains are programmed to crave the unexpected and thus to look to the future, where every exciting possibility begins. Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more--more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it's why we gamble and squander. If we get clarity on how our brain chemistry works, we can use that understanding to create a life full of healthy, sustainable and truly rewarding relationships and accomplishments, and more effectively avoid the traps of modern existence that are just about to kill us all.When it comes to love, the loss of passionate romance will always happen eventually, and then comes a choice. Was passiert eigentlich im Kopf während des Datings und warum ändert sich Verliebtheit nach 18 Monaten? Was genau sind die Moleküle, die unser Verhalten steuern? Eine interessante Einsicht in die Neurotransmitter wie Dopamin, Serotonin, Noradrenaline usw. If you’ve ever been in love, you probably know it can feel like being high. That’s because you were high– on dopamine. At the beginning of a romantic adventure, your brain is busy responding to all the exciting possibilities of a new relationship. Dopamine is firing like crazy. And this makes us feel euphoric, headless, love-drunk.
Buyer’s remorse is the failure of the H&N experience to compensate for the loss of dopaminergic arousal. Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest times―and so good at figuring them out? Our brain uses control dopamine to plan, imagine, and strategize. Why? Because these things help us make our future better than our present. But achieving this aim often means thinking outside the box and making new connections between seemingly disparate things. In a broad sense, saying something is “important” is another way of saying it’s linked to dopamine. We doen er alles aan om dit artikel op tijd te bezorgen.

It turns out that dopamine doesn’t really care about tasty food. In fact, it doesn’t really care about anything that is predictable. Instead, dopamine gets released when we encounter things that are new, unexpected, and exciting. As opposed to the pleasure of anticipation via dopamine, these chemicals give us pleasure from sensation and emotion.
