The Role of Dopamine in Addiction
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is intimately associated with the experience of reward and pleasure. It bridges the gap between neurons and allows them to communicate. All addictive substances and behaviors activate the brain's reward pathway, causing a release of dopamine. However, excessive and chronic indulgence can lead to a downregulation of dopamine receptors and transmission, resulting in a dopamine deficit state. This can make other experiences less pleasurable and lead to a narrowed focus on the addictive substance or behavior.
