I've become lucky enough to become addicted to learning.
May I suggest that you don’t ever get brain damage. That would probably stop the learning, leaving you feeling cut off and frustrated. It has me. I am still addicted to learning but it now takes outrageously tremendous repetition to get it to stick.
@@greatnews4041 So sad to read this
Dopamine is involved in motivation, learning and motor control. Endorphin reduces pain and induces pleasure. Some things (sex, heroin) activate both systems but they are still very different: dopamine is a neurotransmitter, released selectively into specific regions of the frontal lobes; endorphin is more like a hormone, released directly into the blood stream by the pituitary gland.
Wow! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very useful video.. Thanks for sharing it..
Thank you Chris.
@MrNomad62 this is the big question right, I wish I had some new advice. we all know exercise, socialising and eating right is important but that don't help much when you're getting crushed by some addiction. all I can really say is wait for the neuroscience to get better so we can tackle these problems properly. in the meantime... analytic psychotherapy is underrated.
those drugs have many effects in the brain, not just on dopamine. researchers typically say that dopamine provides the motivation to continue, not the pleasure. anyway, even if there is some subjective pleasure associated with dopamine it doesn't make it an endorphin; endorphin is the name of a specific chemical structure, which is different from dopamine.
Thanks this helped me a lot! :) Hope u have a wonderful day or night haha
hey iplantchannel what about having and excess amount of dopamine i have heard this causes psychosis and schizophrenia if so how do you reduce dopamine levels?
@azura13liss yea but strong natural rewards often get you into trouble in the long run. I was thinking of iPlants. (sorry about the late reply, must have missed your comment)
The difference between happiness and pleasure is happiness is forever. We are eternal beings, so the way to eternal happiness is being satisfied, deciding to be satisfied. The Lord only recommends a way for us to live, but we are free to choose. Through charity we can find true happiness and not be bound to an addiction. Every choice we make has a consequence, we are free to lust after our addictions or try a different way :)
well it's probably never been experimentally tested but generally if you like it and you wanna keep doing it chances are dopamine's involved
What is the name of the place where dopamine is produced/released.... And is it only produced/released in one part of the body?
found this video to be very inpirational - personally
there are many differences, they serve different functions (although they all affect mood) and they have different physiology (dopamine and serotonin are released into specific brain regions whereas endorphin is released into the blood stream)
Dopamine is created and secreted from the Locus Coerulus which is situated toward the bottom of the brain from a side-on view. To my knowledge, it is only created there where it undergoes metabolic processes (L-tyrosine (found in foods) > L-Dopa > can't remember > Dopamine). The locus coerulus also creates Norepinephrine & Epinephrine. Collectively these neurotransmitters are the 'catecholamines.' Hope this helped.
Amazing thoughts :)
I've been thinking about this today and I am wondering if electric stimulation of the brain's reward system would have pretty much exactly the same effect as injecting epinephrine.
Do the trials in animals show the same side effects as drug addiction when the stimulus is removed?
So interesting. Do things that make you feel good for an extended period of time.
@ihateslideshows no it decreases attention span for most things, particularly for tasks with significant cognitive load
@yodudewassp true, unfortunately it also causes massive damage to dopaminergic nerve fibers
@The3nlightened0ne good to hear
I'm doing a video on instant gratification and I'm wondering if you'd let me use some passages of your video, mainly the picture of the brain?
Philippe Orlando The brain is an adaptation of an old image from cnsforum.com, which no longer exists. I felt it was fair to use it for an educational video but I'm not a lawyer :)
Thanks for your answer!
Nice video,little confusion to understand.------
I think the only different way is to submit to God and worship him and realizing the reason why we are created .
Yes, but I heard it is created and produced in the vta section of the brain... I don't know what the vta section and don't know if that's true but that's what I heard. There is not many places to learn about this topic
@ihateslideshows no doing just one thing inhibits the dopamine system, that's why people with adhd have problems focusing on one thing for long. gotta find that good variety.
preventing abuse is key. we've used the term 'defence mechanisms' to describe the access controls that would have to be put in place to keep conditional rewarding brain stimulation conditional. see the site for details.
the "Cheeseburger, UFO, Twitter thought" was hilarious, a noticeable amount of dopamine indeed!
@steyr177 definitely, it's the dopamine that makes it seem cool in the first place :)
listen to "Unconscious Perception - Dopamine"
My dopamine pathways are fried.... I've never had motivation.
does massage and watching someone get a massage on a video which makes me sleepy by the way does that release dopamine?
@calonator75 C8H11NO2. it's on wikipedia...
How can you tell if you have ADD? I am certainly not hyperactive, but have difficulty concentrating and staying motivated. Its been like this my whole life. I also get anxiety attacks. :)
did you now that doing whit enthousiasm activited also dopamine?!! a growing circle off live , activatiing from 'not yet' into develeping a lot off new skills ;-) what is nessesary that you experience this yourselve ?!! good luck. vny;-)
u will get dopamine if u r playing a cool game?
no injecting epinephrine is very different, it has to do with fight/flight, not reward
yes
@dustinsyoutoob excellent
yea antipsychotic medicine often block a subclass of dopamine receptors. there's more to schizophrenia than just 'too much' dopamine though.
atypical cortical wiring, reduced prefrontal activity... it's an extremely complex disorder
I was forced taking antipsycotics and now I have Nystagmus. Will it go away once i'm off it?
I think yes. Try to get your doctor's opinion. Good luck!
damn dopamine makes me stutter and it's pissing me off. how do i lower my levels of dopamine without perscription medication?
@SCAREDBANANA no... junkies (drug addicts) are locked into a highly stereotypical pattern of seeking out a few chemical substances in the environment despite destructive consequences. the dopamine system of a healthy person can motivate all sorts of complex, creative and worthwhile pursuits. the point I guess is to figure out how to promote the latter and avoid the former, and to navigate the vast gradient in-between the two, which is where most people operate.
I am just wondering, where the stuff about dopamine-meditation connection comes from?
well I guess I was saying that most people need to focus on juicy dopamine-releasing things like money to keep activity in the prefrontal cortex going. there's a lot of data on how the prefrontal cortex gets stronger is people who meditate, and there's a lot you can extrapolate from animal studies, but I don't think meditation has been linked with dopamine in humans yet... it'd be hard to get the PET scans approved I think
@@ChristopherHarris I read meditation helps people with ADHD.
@MagePeaceman I regret ever writing that lol. Yeah makes sense.
how can I get dopamine to watch this video?
@dustinsyoutoob
this is why we msut tech all our kids metacognition at an early age.
That's why I'm here! I'm a school teacher who always starts out the year teaching my 5th graders about their brains - neurons, frontal lobes, etc. I'm searching for more videos right now for tomorrow's lesson on frontal lobes.
@MagePeaceman DUDE i am Adhd, yet ive learned to conrtole it with alot of thinking, yet i kinda got side effects from doing so. . . and i do smoke marijuanna, ( if you know anything bout htis and adhd send ti to me ) But what im really interested in now, is that fact you said i can make my brain think the way i want. . ive been thinking about that my whole life. . im 18 now, and Thats weird that you say that . . but i did know about losing focus easily PLEASE REPLY TO ME ASAP ~
What if you take antipsychotics i heard they are a dopamine blockers.
Yes they block one of the two types of dopamine receptor (Type 2/3). Why they work is poorly understood, but they do work in some cases.
Mostly because the cannabinoids in weed enhance sensory perception. Pretty much -everything- seems better, and life without it seems dull by comparison. It doesn't have much to do with neurochemical side-effects. In fact, recent studies show that the cannabinoids don't even stimulate or interact with the dopamine pathways directly, the way alcohol or stimulants might. In fact, the more likely culprits for reward-system imbalance are
@persianboy153 depression has been linked to low dopamine, don't know about anxiety.
I love my brain !
I have concentration problems and an addictive personality , Its like I dont have control over myself? can anyone here help me with that ?where can I learn how to meditate?
@ihateslideshows yup
@FordCopChrist1995 If your dopamine levels drop too low you lose motivation to eat, feel fatigue, depression, anxiety, and you'll probably have more stuttering.
People with low dopamine usually have social anxiety also. It's also a symptom of Parkinson's disease.
Schizophrenics have too much dopamine.
Practice speaking, don't take drugs. (most drugs increase your dopamine)
how long of meditation is required to fully activate this?
You need to start very short. Just to feel how it's working. Want to try? 2 minutes? You feel it in 2 minutes!
Here is how:
Set a timer for three minutes. (1 minute to prepare, 2 to relax.)
Sit on a chair, back straight, hands loosely on your lap.
Now, breath in through your nose, slowly exhale through your mouth till the end of these 2 minutes.
Now relax your face first, than neck, shoulder, stomach, arms, hands, back, bottom, legs and feet.
Feel the ground under your feet.
Last minute you count to ten on every exhale. Thinking or hearing things? That's totally normal! Get back to the counting by starting by one again.
Try it. You will already feel it.
100%? no. every part of the brain interacts with every other part, so until we understand the totality of the brain we can't claim to understand any single transmitter 100%. we still know a lot though, and there are some very clear differences between dopamine, serotonin and endorphins. start by looking at the functions the different transmitters are typically associated with (dopamine = motivation, learning, motor control; serotonin: mood, creativity; endorphins = pain-control, pleasure; etc).
My son has high dopamine and also has Obsessive thoughts. . Any recommendations?
Its an excess of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex which is causing obsessive thoughts. The increase of glutamate is a result of insufficient GABA. Research ways to increase GABA, and you will see improvement in your son's obsessive thoughts/anxiety.
Life with the R family if he cant sleep at night with a rush of thoughts and wakes up tired of thinking he may have a low gabba neurotrasmitter , so Anxiety kicks in hard see your doctor , most likely he will take zoloft 6 to a year 50 mg or 100 mg good luck
Psychosis?
I’ve damage this part by my past porn usage please do not do what I did bad mistake
@TheSonyb90
if you were thirsty; it has to
the more you meditate the better you get at it
@austinocabelro689 One of the biggest side effects of weed is that everything in your life becomes boring. That's why people convince themselves that weed makes life less boring, but actually it only makes it worse. I know exactly how you feel, I used to smoke a lot of weed, a friend of mine still smokes everyday and I have to be honest: it makes her less fun to hang around with. It's not necessary to stop smoking weed completely, just cut it down to once a week. It'll help for sure.
@pappuali ADHD is real, no doubt. But the idea of ADHD has developed into something of a disease, which has no physical symptoms, only behavioral ones. People with ADHD usually have disheveled lives. However, surprisingly if you give an ADHD person structure, the symptoms for ADHD disappear (no symptoms, no disease). Basically, training yourself to overcome common obstacles of ADHD.
1. physical & mental exercise
2. healthy social & spiritual life
3. healthy diet & pattern of thinking
من علية اختبار احيا ؟
so people who have anxiety issues like me have less dopamine? wierd?
easier way? think of the REWARDS! DUH! rewards = direct increase in more dopamine

Exercise does release my dopamine, i dunno.about Twitter
@mississippirebel1 reproductive? it's certainly involved in sexual selection and mating... is that what you mean?
do you, or anybody, 100% know what the difference between dopamine, serotonin and endorphins? Its for a school assignment..
@FordCopChrist1995 I doubt it's the dopamine. drink less coffee and don't do drugs. then there's talk therapy and exercise..
So we are all just junkies looking our next fix.
Well my brain has low dopamin and i get easly bored, and have hard consentrate.
since start of school ._.
The fact that school really is boring doesn't indicate anything is wrong with you.
School is mind programming from the thinkiing to the physical rituals u do at school

bee2682
But, Bee, don't those labeled ADHD have a great ability to concentrate on something they are interested in, or have I mixed it up with something else?
@iPlantChannel to much natural dopamine. lolz.. thanx.
Interesting stuff, I think if you could reward yourself with the press of a button you would be totally hooked to pressing that button, not the action that you ought to be rewarding yourself for. Sounds like you're just about to take a hit from your iplant at the end of the video after you say 'if only there was a different way' haha
@MrNomad62 you need Ayahuasca this will change you for ever!!!! check out the websites they have on it you will not be dissapointed
@TheDrunkenCabDriver hehe
hahha
lol
arousing sexual thoughts do yes
hehe, not to my knowledge
hahha dopamang
