Dopomine - The Neurotransmitter That Keeps You on Task

Our ability to notice errors in those predictions depends on dopomine, this neuro transmitter crucial for regulating motivation. If the outcome is as predicted, we continue as before. If it isn't, we are biologically driven to eliminate the surprise happening again by making that scenario predictable in the future. Positive surprises change our beliefs, attitudes and values in a way that leads to behaviors that seek out that positive pattern again. And if negatively surprised, we gage in behaviours that avoid that pattern happening again.
