The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation

For a single, breathless moment, the noise of the crowded room, the city street, the chaotic party, all of it just… fades. And in that silence, a thought lands in your mind, so clear and certain it feels less like a thought and more like a memory: Oh, there you are. This is where my story begins.
