Episode notes
Dopemin is a motivation molecule, or as a kind of hay. This thing is really rdan, so you should keep on paying attention to it. Now, this occurs in a pathway, a circuit in the brain, called the mezolimbic pathway. And pretty much every substance of abuse that i'm aware of, whether it's tobacco or crack cocane or sugar, affects this brain pathway. These things are so addictive because the brain really likes them. Like the brain joys these experiences.
