52. Dopamine Makes
People Addicted to
Seeking Information
- There are 2 chemicals at play when
seeking information
- Dopamine
- The chemical of motivation rather
than pleasure
- It is what propels you to action
- A study was done on rats
- If they lost the dopamine neurons
- They could still walk, chew, and
swallow
- They had no motivation to eat
the food next to them
- They starved to death
- What This Means
- Dopamine fuels actions
- Dopamine works hand in hand with Opiods
- Without Dopamine we would not want
to seek out information
- The "wanting"
- Makes you curious
- Opiod
- The chemical of pleasure and
addiction
- It is what makes you to feel satisfied
- The "liking"
- More involved in the
feeling of pleasure
