  2. Dopamine fasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_fasting

    Proponents of dopamine fasting see a benefit from taking periodic breaks from technologies which are seen as addictive, such as smartphones. Dopamine fasting is the general practice of "fasting" or abstaining from any impulsive and behavioral addictions in order to cope with such addictions and thus attempt to reset to a healthier lifestyle.

  3. Endorphins - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphins

    Endorphins may contribute to the positive effect of exercise on anxiety and depression. [43] The same phenomenon may also play a role in exercise addiction . Regular intense exercise may cause the brain to downregulate the production of endorphins in periods of rest to maintain homeostasis , causing a person to exercise more intensely in order ...

  4. β-Endorphin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Β-endorphin

    T-lymphocytes release β-endorphin in this localized region, allowing it to bind to opioid receptors, causing direct inhibition of substance P. [18] [19] In the central nervous system, β-endorphin binds to opioid receptors in the dorsal root and inhibits the release of substance P in the spinal cord, reducing the number of excitatory pain ...

  5. Serotonin–norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin–norepinephrine...

    In turn, the ventral tegmental area (VTA) is sensitive to 5-HT and NE release. [3] In the case of SSRIs, the promiscuity among transporters means that there may be more than a single type of neurotransmitter to consider (e.g. 5-HT, DA, NE, etc.) as mediating the therapeutic actions of a given medication.

  6. Endorphin (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphin_(software)

    Endorphin is a dynamic motion synthesis software package developed by NaturalMotion in 2005. [1] Endorphin can be used to generate computer simulations of large numbers of independent characters interacting with each other and the world according to brief scripts or 'behaviours'.

  7. Diffuse noxious inhibitory control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_noxious_inhibitory...

    Noxious stimuli activate the endings of nociceptive C and A delta nerve fibers, which carry the signal to neurons in the dorsal horn of spinal cord. DNIC refers to the mechanism by which dorsal horn wide dynamic range neurons responsive to stimulation from one location of the body may be inhibited by noxious stimuli (such as heat, high pressure or electric stimulation) applied to another ...

  8. Monoamine neurotransmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoamine_neurotransmitter

    After release into the synaptic cleft, monoamine neurotransmitter action is ended by reuptake into the presynaptic terminal. There, they can be repackaged into synaptic vesicles or degraded by the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), which is a target of monoamine oxidase inhibitors , a class of antidepressants .

  9. α-Endorphin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-endorphin

    Endorphins are generally known as neurotransmitters that are released when the body goes into pain. [3] The three endorphins that play a role in this response are α-endorphin, β-endorphin (beta-endorphin), and γ-endorphin (gamma-endorphin) which are all derived from the same polypeptide known as pro-opiomelanocortin.
