- This web series, Science of Addiction, is hosted by research analyst Reisto Belovich. In this episode, he will be breaking down the basics of the science behind what addiction does to the brain,, from the prefrontal cortex to the limbic system to the midbrain.
In this video we learn what Dopamine is, how it works in the brain, and how psychoactive substances affect this neurotransmitter.
“Before we can understand the full sway of addiction, it would make sense for us to understand the primary areas of the brain that are affected by addiction,” Belovich said.
The brain controls our entire body through electrical stimulus that allows us to think, feel, move, breathe, speak, and every other minute motion the body goes through. When it comes to addiction, there are three areas primarily associated with addiction.

This is the most informative video I've ever seen about how drugs and alcohol effect the brain. It should be shown to all young teens.
May I suggest explaining how stress causes the midbrain to shut down the prefrontal cortex?
When stressed (e.g. being chased by a tiger) the midbrain sees the slow thinking prefrontal cortex as a liability, so it shuts down the prefrontal cortex, and the person reacts emotionally, quickly, but is literally unable to think and reason and consider future consequences. Great if you're being chased by a tiger; disastrous if the person has an addiction problem. They turn to their drug which alleviates stress, but are literally unable to think and reason and make a choice and stop themselves from using.
Great comment. Stress is a primary factor in addiction and in recovery.
David Deley also, when neurons are hyper-stimulated by adrenaline they go into shock, basically, research that has been opened up by Robert Sapolsky (covered in his stress:from molecules to societies) suggests that this process can result in various forms of cell damage and/or death if the exposure to adrenaline is too frequent or too massive.
So much respect to all those helping others heal. It's a true calling. I absolutely found my purpose as well in telling my story from years of complete despair to healing my brain and getting my life back! 💟🦋🕉
The effect addiction has on the brain cannot be overemphasized. This video sums it up.Very information and educative. Every young person should watch this video
Such a great way to break it down for people not in recovery to grasp it in a way that actually makes sense. (Such as the family of the person caught in addiction) ) I love how this starts with explaining how the prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive decisions, and ends with the explanation of how the brain is impacted to such a degree that the executive decision of discontinued use is not able to be made. Thank you for this video.
This video has proven to be more than informative. I had no idea that addiction was so intricately tied to how the brain works.
Excellent, professional video and content. Thank you.
There is alot I don't know about until now. The video is is so detailed, it has listed the things we don't know the effect they have on the brain. I'm glad I'm part of this.
Great initiative by detox rehab to create awareness for any kind of addiction. This video gave the sense to think of not getting into any kind of addiction.
Education doesn't depend on books alone. Audio visual does great in desseminating ideals and knowledge too. The topic is a must for everyone to see and watch, because drug is really causing a lot of damages nowadays.
I never knew about the addiction effects on brain in this detail. It gave me a good idea how different parts of the brain are affected by the addiction.
This is very interesting. Especially the part about how the midbrain has only a 15 second time scale. Didn't know that! It makes so much sense within the realms of addiction and how it's proximity to the spinal cord trumps the prefrontal cortex every time. I work with addicts and have had issues with certain substances myself so this video was a brilliant for both understanding myself and those I work with. Thank you. I'd love it if you could go a bit further with the explanation, for example, how long would you have to withhold the addictive substance in order to reduce the mid and limbic brain's decision to use? Obviously the physical addiction is a factor but I'm curious.
Great film. I wish that more people understood this. Teaching my clients this aspect has always been part of my practice
Thank you! Feel free to use this video to help your clients better understand!
Thank you for that knowledge. My son has been addicted for 30 yrs. Thinks he is still in control
I started intermittent fasting, and 24 hour fasting once per week. Once the sugar is out of your body, you no longer crave it, and a lot of other addictions go away also.
I am in trouble.. I use herion I want to leave herion.. But how to leave this heroin I really dnt know.. Is there any tables or medicine for helping to me to leave this devil drug heroin.. Any one can help me please I dnt want to die
Mohammad Ramzan there is medicine like methodone that will help you quit. It can be essential for heroin addicts. You can quit. Keep trying.
Mohammad Ramzan hey man, how are you doing?

Thanks for the sharing this video with us.
You're welcome!
I'm here cuz meh teacher wants my class to watch this... ._.
good teacher
same -_-
Tell your teachers you will watch it but don't take it as true. Your teachers should be teaching you to think critically. If we didn't think critically, we would still be living in a flat world with the sun and the universe revolving around us. Question everything, young man...and fear nothing. Always question...always ask.
I’m here because im a drug addict
I found this very interesting, thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks a lots for giving such a informative video. I like to recommend all youngsters to see this video once. I am damn sure many of your life will change after seeing this video.
Excellent explanation!
Thank you!
very helpful, thank you
Thank you!
this is good stuff ... its important for addicts to understand they have to AND CAN rewire their brain and get the frontal cortex back in charge ... this is why the longer you stay away the easier it gets - you are rewiring in a good way ... my only pushback would be the word "pleasure" being associated with Dopomine ... while that is not inaccurate when it comes to an addiction the word "satisfy" is probably more appropriate since the pleasure is probably long gone
Good information but I can't use it in a treatment setting because there are too many using images.
So is dopamine is triggered before we give in to the crave or the drug use or after? thanks
Better than Sanjay Gupta's explanation on the news by far. In looking for scientific/anatomical discussion - I watched his explanation for about 15 annoying seconds (well - maybe the news anchor person interrupting his comments every few moments was also impeding the flow of his analysis to be fair to SG) and then clicked onto this segment. Informative in a scientific way - and well presented. Many thanks.
This is a cool and seductive video. I live the fact that the video contain exposure to the topic science of addiction. If care is not taken, addiction can make one run mad. That ms for this good video post.
Very interesting!
Very informative
Very good video
Great video
Are there ways to target the midbrain to reduce the amount of dopamine and glutamate in the system?
thank
Thnks bro
the acting is top notch
very good to explain to students
very interesting
Can I ask why, if the brain has this reaction to a substance, that some people can stop or moderate and others smash their life to pieces ? What makes the difference ?
very good, professional video
beautiful
I have question: Not about drugs or alchohol addiction. I've been drinking coca cola and pepsi almost every day since my mid to late teens and am now nearing my late thirties which I've always been told is pretty heavy on caffeine which can cause addiction. I tried going a few days without coke or pepsi a few months back and found that after about five days I was perfectly fine. No headaches no shakes no muscle spasms or anything(started drink again mainly out of boredom and being unable to find an enjoyable cola substitute). I spoke to a friend of mine who always consumes coke and pepsi several times daily and he said if he goes more than a few hours without a drink he gets bad headaches and becomes very irritable. I'm just wondering how I have could drunk the stuff so long without devoloping a dependency? Is this kind of thing common or could I be somehow naturally resistant to addictive substances? I've never taken drugs or been prescribed addictive tablets from a doctor so I have no experience on how those addictions might hit a person.
The brain is the most complex organ we possess. Treat it right and it will help you. However, if you feed it with drugs you can expect to experience the worst.
I need a treatment for my mid brains
Thanks, great explaining. Please come up with a video about the damaging side effects of Marijuana and LSD. There is a huge advocacy for those dangerous addictions .
Is there a genetic basis for addiction does everybody exposed become addicted?
I'm love the program can you talk about Huntington lake what happened w you use marihuana
What song is playing in the video??
Ryuu Igarashi spice girls
What about the pornography and masturbation addiction? I'm experiencing chronic fatigue syndrome -like symptoms and a lot of depression. Constantly watching the porn makes our bran full with some chemical messengers and neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine as well as serotonin and so on. After they years of exposure our brain's reward system creates a new pathway that demands more excitement, that's because of neuroplasticity. And after some time again, the brain totally "exhausted" and wants to get rid of excess chemicals in it and shuts down or depletes neurons which is responsible for some transmitters, especially dopamine. Amygdala and hippocamus are now craving to die for it but neurons are already depleted. Result? The man fu...d up and depressed and all his or her internal organs not working properly because of chemical imbalance and dopamine dysregulation syndrome. What do you think about it?
interesting when certain people are under the influence of alcohol or drugs sometimes they can have a different effect out of the way there thinking in the process
for example you could get one character who is hyperactive when he's under the influence of this particular addiction
you can have another subject where you goes completely quiet and when this particular person becomes particularly quiet is observing and thinking his face in his own head
why the other person is explaining their thoughts outloud become more of a talkable character
but if you have too much of these contents such as alcohol you are unable to speak your words unable to use your thought process you become too sluggish
now it depends certain drugs can have affect where you become more of talk about character
this is only when you are taking this on a now and again basis
no addiction is where a person is constantly taking it but space it out after a day but he wants to get that particular high back for example with person can be constantly drinking alcohol but he's unable to think of his rational thoughts is it a good thing or a bad thing
taking drugs what people under the influence on sometimes they can get to a reduction but it's going to take time in process first time ever when you take it it feels great feels amazing girl that rush through the intensity feel the the energy then after a bit he was slowly start dying down but you still have a craving for more
it depends how you look at this in a contents yes lead down to a addiction but also it can be tested as well that you can come away from this without any support
Sir I want to leave heroin I am in trouble I am worried 😯. I use heroin I dnt know how leave.. Can u please help me or guide me is there any medicine or pills or treatment to leave heroin..

What is the difference between alcohol and drugs?
slaggerthord31 , Alcohol is a drug.
what if you take drugs just towice a week could that lead to addiction
Great question. The same rules apply to the brain with moderate use. That all depends on how addictive the substance is.
Taha Golden , Yes.
beter explain thx u but if information include with drug used by abuser it will be beter,,......
I am a recovering addict, now working as a counselor at a Rehab in my hometown (Lunglei, Mizoram. India) i was wondering if you guys would allow me to dubbed this in my native language /mother-tongue, and post it on youtube itself...??
It would be of great help for the addicts and their respective affected families. Please bear in mind, we are located on the border of the Golden Triangle (where Herion come cheap and easy)
Thank you. 🙏🏿
Hello
And so can we use these facts here to 1, memorise better 2, be addicted to good events by doing more
Why has the motel 6 CZcams channel liked this video

Bet addiction is the bad of all. I am addicted , itd damage my brain to the most
This shit is crazy
Drugs, alcohol….AND sugar
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👳♂️
Addiction is not an illness. It's a choice that you told yourself you could control and then you realized you couldn't. I'm an addict to 2 drugs. It's my own damn fault.
That's not what recent science says. Picking up the drugs in the first place is a choice.
Psychedelics aren't addictive... why did mushrooms go into the brain
No such thing, a bit of self discipline
He keeps saying drugs and/or alcohol as if it's the same thing. This is not true.
bilsbobaggins1 What is the difference?
FranktheDachshund
The difference is action related, neurochemistry
bilsbobaggins1, Alcohol is a drug.
Can somebody teach this idiot
This video is very educative on how drugs affect our brain. This needs to be shown to both young and old.
