Here is a chart I made for class which details the differences between dopamine and the other neurotransmitters.
(files.catbox.moe)https://files.catbox.moe/v0wxr7.jpegFigured this could help us understand the difference between dopamine and joy. I often hear the term dopamine thrown around like it is the only chemical that matters while neglecting the others. This chart serves to demystify that.
You’ll find an insidious fact that dopamine is NOT a molecule of joy but a molecule of discontent and excite. It calls us to seek and gather. As dopamine rises, serotonin drops. So it will serve us well to be mindful of how our minds operate. It also serves to contrast from the niggers who are unable to understand such systems.
