dopamine


Dopamine is a very important neurotransmitter, or brain chemical. When you feel rewarded, scientists believe you are activating the dopamine network in your brain.  After you check off one of those items on your list, you fire your dopamine system.



Notice that you have lots of dopamine deep in the middle of your brain. Remember that this is also where the limbic system is located. This section of your brain is response for those important emotions that can either help you or hinder you from getting work done.http://encefalus.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/dopamine_pathways.gif
