"DOPAMINE: A MARVEL FORGOTTEN"

“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by
having everything happen all at once.” Paulo Coelho [Title]
“Hey there! Are you a teenager? How’s life? Awkward? Ecstatic? Boring? Funny? Blah blah blah….blahblah?”
Being a 21st century Teenager is difficult but the adults, having an outdated experience of adolescence fail to
understand us, is it? But they say something like “We have also crossed the same stage as yours”. Lets begin,
Life, a stupendous puzzle is comprised of many internal and external processes. The endo- and exocrine systems
play many major roles to sustain life.
Dopamine is one of the major neurotransmitters produced by the human body. The anticipation of most types
of rewards increases the level of dopamine in the brain, and many addictive drugs increase dopamine release or
block its reuptake into neurons following release. Other brain dopamine pathways are involved in motor
control and in controlling the release of various hormones. These pathways and cell groups form a dopamine
system which is neuromodulatory. In popular culture and media, dopamine is often seen as the main chemical of
pleasure, but the current opinion in pharmacology is that dopamine instead confers salience; in other words,
dopamine signals the perceived motivational prominence (i.e., the desirability or aversiveness) of an outcome,
which in turn propels the organism’s behavior toward or away from achieving that outcome.
Some of our fellow classmates will unknowingly indulge in certain irrational practices which can artificially
induce Dopamine secretion thereby creating a sense of fugacious satisfaction, BUT, FOR YOUR KIND
INFORMATION SUCH IRRATIONAL PRACTICES CAN WREAK YOUR ENTIRE SYSTEM BY
FILLING IT WITH A LOT OF BUGS WHICH CAN NEVER BE COMPLETELY REPAIRED! Think
before you do anything, estimation is the best aid which promotes prevention thereby making your very
existences worthy in the sight of the other beings. The artificial induction of Dopamine will drain your energy
leaving you tired all the time. So be aware all the time and never fall prey to things which will harm yourselves
and others.
